Download or read book Revision of the Modified Mouthparts Species Group of Hawaiian Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae) written by Karl N. Magnacca and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modified mouthparts group is perhaps the largest of the four major Hawaiian Drosophila clades, yet has received relatively little taxonomic attention during the past 40 years. This study reviews unplaced species and the ceratostoma, freycinetiae, semifuscata, and setiger subgroups, with descriptions of 22 new species. We hope this work encourages greater study of the biology of this important group.
