Rafael Hidalgo, Violeta Lily2023-11-042023-11-042016-112477-9113 - 2477 - 9148https://repositorio.puce.edu.ec/handle/123456789/5871Two new species of genus Drosophila were described. These species were collected in Yanacocha Protected Forest, located in the northwest of the Pichincha volcano. Drosophila yanacocha sp. nov., was captured at an elevation of 3 587m and is member of D. annulimana group. Drosophila papaver sp. nov., was collected at an elevation of 3 771m. This species could not be placed with confidence in any species group, therefore it remains ungrouped. Nevertheless the spermatheca of D. papaver sp. nov., has a resemblance to the spermatheca of D. pictifrons Duda (1927) which suggest that both species could be related.enClosedAccessAnnulimana groupEcuadorProvince of PichinchaSpecies descriptionYanacocha reserveAnnulimana groupEcuadorProvince of PichinchaSpecies descriptionYanacocha reserve
