Estimation of the Routs of Synhospitalic Distribution of the Genus Drosophilella DUDA (Diptera, Drosophilidae), with Descriptions of Three New Species from Malaysia and Indonesia

Abstract

The routs of synhospitalic distribution of the Drosophilella species are estimated with special regard to the host plants. A couple of new synhospitalic species, baechlii and bogneri, obtained from the flowers of Homalomena lancifolia Hook. f. (Araceae) in Malaysia and another new species, iskandari, found synhospitalic with D. colocasiae DUDA on the flowers of Colocasia esculenta SCHOTT (Araceae) in Indonesia are described.
