Drosophila hubeiensis (Diptera, Drosophilidae), a New Species of the Drosophila obscura Species-group from the Mainland of China

Abstract

Drosophila (Sophophora) hubeiensis, a new species of the D. obscura species-group from Hubei Province in Central China is described, and compared to its sibling species D. sinobscura inhabiting Taiwan island. The larval ganglion cells of D. hubeiensis possess a diploid number of 10 chromosomes (3V, 1J, 1D ; X=V), whereas those of D. sinobscura show in diploid cells 12 chromosomes (2V, 1J, 2R, 1D ; X=V). Interspecific matings between the two species were easy to obtain and produce fertile F_1 hybrids in both sexes.
