Drosophilidae genera

Drosophila (; from Ancient Greek and ) is a genus of fly, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "small fruit flies" or pomace flies, vinegar flies, or wine flies, a reference to the characteristic of many species to linger around overripe or rotting fruit. They should not be confused with the Tephritidae, a related family, which are also called fruit flies (sometimes referred to as "true fruit flies").

Stegana is a genus of vinegar flies, insects in the family Drosophilidae. Seven species complexes have been established based on morphological data: S. biprotrusa (Chen & Aotsuka, 2004), S. castanea (Okada, 1988), S. coleoptrata (Scopoli, 1763), S. nigrolimbata (Duda, 1924), S. ornatipes (Wheeler & Takada, 1964), S. shirozui (Okada, 1971) and S. undulata (Meijere, 1911).

genus of insects

Rhinoleucophenga is a genus of fruit flies (insects in the family Drosophilidae). There are at least 20 described species in Rhinoleucophenga.

The genus Zaprionus belongs to the Drosophilidae family of fruit flies and is positioned within the paraphyletic genus Drosophila. All species are easily recognized by the white longitudinal stripes across the head and thorax. The genus is subdivided in two subgenera, based on the presence of an even (subgenus Zaprionus) or odd (subgenus Anaprionus) number of white stripes. The species of the genus can be found in Africa and Southern Asia. One species, Zaprionus indianus, has invaded the New World.

Pseudiastata is a genus of vinegar flies (insects in the family Drosophilidae). There are about 11 described species in Pseudiastata.

Microdrosophila is a genus of vinegar flies, insects in the family Drosophilidae. There are at least 70 described species in Microdrosophila.

Mycodrosophila is a genus of vinegar flies, insects in the family Drosophilidae. There are at least 120 described species in Mycodrosophila.

Hirtodrosophila is a genus of fruit flies from the family Drosophilidae. Originally Hirtodrosophila was a subgenus of the genus Drosophila. It was raised to the status of genus by Grimaldi in 1990.

Scaptomyza is a genus of vinegar flies in the family Drosophilidae. , there are currently 274 described species of Scaptomyza. Of those, 149 are endemic to the Hawaiian archipelago. This genus is part of the species-rich lineage of Hawaiian Drosophilidae, and is the sister lineage to the endemic Hawaiian Drosophila. The genus Scaptomyza is one of several nested within the genus Drosophila, rendering it paraphyletic.
