The genus Scaptodrosophila Duda part II: the coracina species group from East Asia, with morphological and molecular evidence (Diptera, Drosophilidae).

ABSTRACT: Eight new species of the Scaptodrosophila coracina species group are described from China: S. fuscilimbasp. n., S. fusciventriculasp. n., S. helvpectasp. n., S. longispinatasp. n., S. nigrolimbatasp. n., S. trivittatasp. n., S. ventriobscuratasp. n., and S. zebrinasp. n. One known species S. coracina (Kikkawa & Peng) is redescribed. A key to all the examined species in the coracina 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 sites with fixed status in the alignment of the COI
