Descripción de cuatro especies nuevas del subgrupo Drosophila fasciola, gruporepleta (Diptera, Drosophilidae) en dos bosques nublados del Ecuador

The current study describes four new members of the Drosophila repleta group, collected in two cloud forests. The new species were grouped into the D. fasciola subgroup, based on thorax pigmentation patterns and male genitalia morphology.Drosophila inti sp. nov., D.nigua sp. nov. and D.yambe sp. nov. were collected using banana baits, whileD. carvalhoi sp. nov. was collected fromAnthurium sp. inflorescences. The abdominal pigmentation and shape of the edeago of D. nigua sp. nov.,D. yambe sp. nov. y D. carvalhoi sp. nov. suggest a close relationship between them, whereas D. inti sp. nov. would be more closely related toD. linearepleta Patterson & Wheeler, 1942.
