“…However, the affiliation of Collessia kirishimana to Collessia would require further investigations. The species H. duncani is morphologically disparate for Hirtodrosophila and might be removed from this genus in the future ( Grimaldi 2018 ). The clade Collessia–H.…”

The vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster is a pivotal model for invertebrate development, genetics, physiology, neuroscience, and disease. The whole family Drosophilidae, which contains over 4,400 species, offers a plethora of cases for comparative and evolutionary studies. Despite a long history of phylogenetic inference, many relationships remain unresolved among the genera, subgenera and species groups in the Drosophilidae. To clarify these relationships, we first developed a set of new genomic markers and assembled a multilocus dataset of 17 genes from 704 species of Drosophilidae. We then inferred a species tree with highly supported groups for this family. Additionally, we were able to determine the phylogenetic position of some previously unplaced species. These results establish a new framework for investigating the evolution of traits in fruit flies, as well as valuable resources for systematics.

“…The latter genus and species have further contributed to our knowledge of the group and provided additional evidence that this group should be placed in the shore-fly family Ephydridae, subfamily Discomyzinae, tribe Psilopini Cresson. Risa and Notorisa are somewhat anomalous genera, demonstrating several structurally derived conditions, especially in external characters of the head that have posed difficulties in placing the family within the Ephydroidea, including, as noted previously, recognition as a separate family or tribe (Papp, 1977). Risa, for example, was included prominently in analyses and discussions of the Ephydroidea (Chandler, 1987;Grimaldi, 1990;Wiegmann et al, 2011;Winkler et al, 2022). An improved phylogenetic framework available for the Ephydroidea and for the family Ephydridae (Chandler, 1987;Zatwarnicki, 1992;Mathis & Zatwarnicki, 1995) provides the context for this paper, including placement of these genera within the shore-fly tribe Psilopini Cresson (see "Discussion" associated with the tribal diagnosis).…”

The systematic and somewhat controversial history of Risa Becker is presented, and its relationship with Diasemocera Bezzi (tribe Psilopini, Ephydridae) is documented by morphological evidence and an association with host plants in the family Amaranthaceae. The tribe Risini Papp (as Risidae) is synonymized with Psilopini Cresson. Notorisa gen. nov., from Australia, is described (type species: Notorisa mcalpinei sp. nov.; Australia. Victoria: Big Desert National Park, near Lake Hindmarsh; 36°03.7'S 141°54.8'E). Achaetorisa Papp is retained as a subgenus within Risa and includes five species, including two new combinations: Risa brevicornis (Papp) comb. nov., Risa salsolae (Mathis & Zatwarnicki) comb. nov., and two new species: R. brevirostris sp. nov. (Israel. Ẕomet Zohar; 31°08.5'N 35°21.6'E) and R. nettae sp. nov. (Israel. Ẕomet Zohar; 31°08.5'N 35°21.6'E). A fourth new species is described in the subgenus Risa: R. (Risa) kotrbae sp. nov. (Israel. Ẕomet Zohar; 31°08.5'N 35°21.6'E).

“…These characters came in two forms: from qualitative features of external cuticle and from quantitative features, e.g., measurements and proportions. Standard morphometric indices are based on Bachli et al (2004) and Grimaldi (2018). Visual examination of external micrographs provided the basis for characters thought to be diagnostic among species.…”

Thorough biotic inventories are still needed even in families with paradigm organisms like Drosophilidae, including well-studied areas such as North America. This work presents a taxonomic revision of the species of the genus Amiota Loew in North America and the Nearctic portion of Mexico. Amiota steganoptera Malloch is currently excluded from the Nearctic and Amiota setigera Malloch is synonymized under Amiota humeralis Loew. Specimens of Amiota subtusradiata Duda were not encountered during this study along with its synonym Amiota quadrata Takada and Toda; however, based on previous descriptions we include A. subtusradiata in the Nearctic fauna. All other previously described species from the Nearctic are redescribed. Thirty-six species are described as
