Abstract excerpt
Drosophila lacertosa, an Oriental member of the robusta species group in the virilis-repleta radiation, has a wide distribution from northern India throughout China to the Far East. Phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial ND2 gene sequences revealed two genetically significantly diverged lineages with 2.1% DNA sequence divergence. These two lineages are largely allopatric: one is mainly found in southwest China...
