Article Description

Three new species of Drosophila were found among individuals collected in different areas of Ecuador. One of them belongs to the Drosophila willistoni group, other to D. asiri group and a third species is not assigned to any group. All samples were taken using plastic bottles containing banana and yeast. Species mentioned are: D. (Sophophora) neocapnoptera sp. nov., similar to Drosophila capnoptera Patterson & Mainland, 1944, but showing differences in wing issues. Drosophila (Drosophila) neoasiri sp. nov., similar to D. asiri Vela & Rafael, 2005, with a significant difference at the aedeagus and Drosophila (D.) papallacta sp. nov. not related to any group of species of Drosophila.
