The paraphyletic subgenus Sophophora of the genus Drosophila was first described by Alfred Sturtevant in 1939.[1] It contains the best-known drosophilid species, Drosophila melanogaster. Sophophora translates as carrier (phora) of wisdom (sophos). The subgenus is paraphyletic because the genus Lordiphosa[2][3] and the species Hirtodrosophila duncani[4][5] are also placed within this subgenus.
Phylogeny
[edit]Currently, 10 species groups are recognized, in two main groups, the New World and the Old World[5][6][7]
Old World:
- melanogaster species group (65 species, including D. melanogaster and D. simulans)
- montium species group (88)
- ananassae species group (24)
- obscura species group (44)
- dentissima species group (17)
- fima species group (23)
- dispar species group (2)
- settifemur species group (2)
