Five new species of Drosophila (Diptera, Drosophilidae) related with Araceae

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Drosophila anthurium sp. nov., Drosophila tsachila sp. nov., Drosophila guajalito sp. nov., Drosophila deloscolorados sp. nov. and Drosophila cartucho sp. nov. were captured in inflorescences of the family Araceae between 1800 and 2200 m of altitude in the Scientific Station Rio Guajalito, province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Ecuador. The new species present surstylus and aedeagus elongated, and aedeagal apodeme very short. Analysis of external morphology and male terminalia indicate that the five new species do not belong to any of the Drosophila groups associated with flowers.
