Abstract

The picture wing species group of Hawaiian Drosophila is the only one to be relatively well known taxonomically, butspecies continue to be discovered. Here seven new species are described: Drosophila kikiko new species, Drosophila ki-noole new species, Drosophila moli new species, Drosophila nukea new species, Drosophila opuhe new species, Dros-ophila pihulu new species, and Drosophila pilipa new species. In addition, the male of Drosophila oreas Hardy isdescribed for the first time, and Drosophila virgulata Hardy & Kaneshiro is reduced to a new junior synonym of Dros-ophila lanaiensis Grimshaw, and the status of the latter and Drosophila ciliaticrus Hardy is clarified. A complete key to all the picture wing species is provided.
