Drosophila (Sophophora) Sturtevant, 1939, è un sottogenere di insetti del genere Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae). Dopo Drosophila (Drosophila), è il sottogenere più importante per distribuzione e numero di specie comprese. A Sophophora appartiene anche la specie più nota, Drosophila melanogaster.

Descrizione[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

Sophophora fu definito come nuovo sottogenere da Sturtevant (1939) nella sua proposta di suddivisione sistematica del genere Drosophila[1], in aggiunta a Drosophila (Drosophila) Fallén, 1823, e Drosophila (Dasydrosophila) Duda, 1925, quest'ultimo successivamente spostato nel genere Hirtodrosophila.

Sulla base degli elementi diagnostici indicati da Sturtevant, Sophophora si distingue per i seguenti caratteri[1]:

  • ricettacolo ventrale non arricciato (marcatamente arricciato in Drosophila);
  • tubi malpighiani del paio posteriore liberi all'apice (fusi in Drosophila e Dasydrosophila);
  • uova provviste di due filamenti (quattro in Dasydrosophila, tre o quattro in Drosophila);
  • bande posteriori scure dal secondo al quinto urite più larghe in corrispondenza della linea dorsale mediana o di larghezza uniforme (più sottili o interrotte almeno nei primi due uriti in Drosophila).

Specie e distribuzione[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

Secondo Bächli (2010)[2], Sophophora comprende oltre 330 specie, molte delle quali presenti nelle regioni tropicali[3] (Legenda: AF: Ecozona afrotropicale, AU: Ecozona australasiana, NE: Ecozona neartica, NT: Ecozona neotropicale, OR: Ecozona orientale, PA: Ecozona paleartica):

Specie di collocazione incerta o controversa[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

Rispetto alla classificazione riportata nel TaxoDros, il BioSystematic Database of World Diptera diverge per la collocazione tassonomica differente di alcune specie o per l'adozione di altri nomi validi. Le incongruenze fra le due banche dati tassonomiche sono le seguenti[3]:

  • Specie implicitamente trattate come Drosophila incertae sedis. Il nome valido indicato nel BDWD non riporta l'appartenenza al sottogenere Sophophora né ad altri sottogeneri di Drosophila:
    • D. madeirensis
    • D. maya
    • D. neokhaoyana
    • D. neotrapezifrons
    • D. sampagensis
    • D. santomea
    • D. saraswati
    • D. septacoila
    • D. sucinea
  • Specie inserite nel sottogenere Drosophila. Il nome valido indicato nel BDWD riporta l'appartenenza al sottogenere Drosophila, con la denominazione Drosophila (Drosophila):
    • D. bunnanda
    • D. plagiata
  • Specie trattate dal BDWD con nomi differenti:
    • D. affinis ssp. iroquois è riportato nel BDWD come sinonimo minore di Drosophila (Drosophila) iroquois (nel TaxoDros sinonimo minore di Drosophila (Sophophora) affinis)
    • D. constricta è riportato nel BDWD come sinonimo minore di Drosophila (Sophophora) constricta (nel TaxoDros come sinonimo minore di Drosophila (Sophophora) fengkainensis)
    • D. obscura var. meigeni è riportato nel BDWD come sinonimo minore di Drosophila (Sophophora) meigeni (nel TaxoDros come sinonimo minore di Drosophila (Sophophora) obscura
    • D. setifemur è riportato nel BDWD come sinonimo minore di Drosophila (Drosophila) sulfurigaster (il TaxoDros riporta la denominazione Drosophila (Sophophora) setifemur)
  • Specie non segnalate nel BDWD:
    • D. fengkainensis
    • D. inopinata
    • D. lamottei[7]
    • D. parapallidosa
    • D. stenotrichata

Distribuzione in Europa[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

A fronte delle oltre 330 specie registrate nel TaxoDros, il catalogo Fauna Europaea segnala la presenza in Europa di sole 15 specie[8]:

  • D. alpina
  • D. ambigua
  • D. ananassae
  • D. bifasciata
  • D. eskoi
  • D. guanche
  • D. helvetica
  • D. ingrica[9]
  • D. madeirensis
  • D. melanogaster
  • D. obscura
  • D. simulans
  • D. subobscura
  • D. subsilvestris
  • D. tristis

In Italia è segnalata la presenza di D. ambigua, D. bifasciata, D. helvetica, D. melanogaster, D. obscura, D. simulans, D. subobscura, D. tristis[10]. Il catalogo di Fauna Italia non riporta la presenza di D. alpina, documentata, invece, in alcuni recenti lavori[11][12].
