Two distinct P element subfamilies, designated M-type and O-type, reside in the genome of D. bifasciata. PCR-screening of 65 Drosophila species revealed that only D. bifasciata and its closest relative D. imaii possess O-type elements. Outside the genus, O-type elements were detected in Scaptomyza pallida. Restriction analyses show that the general structure of the O-type elements from S. pallida and D....
