The genus Scaptodrosophila Duda part I: the brunnea species group from the Oriental Region, with morphological and molecular evidence (Diptera, Drosophilidae).

ABSTRACT: Seven new species of the Scaptodrosophila brunnea species group are described from east Asia: S. maculatasp. n., S. melanogastersp. n., S. nigricostatasp. n., S. nigripectasp. n., S. obscuratasp. n., S. protenipenissp. n. and S. rhinasp. n. Three known species, S. parabrunnea (Tsacas & Chassagnard), S. pressobrunnea (Tsacas & Chassagnard) and S. scutellimargo (Duda) are redescribed. A key to all the examined species in the brunnea group is provided. Species delimitations have been improved by integrating the DNA sequences with morphological information. The intra- and interspecific pairwise p-distances (proportional distance) are summarized. Some nucleotide s
