03838796FF9F5B7BFCB908CFA8B2F926.taxon	discussion	Note. A remarkably similar oviscapt valve and similar spermathecae were depicted and photomicrographed by Vilela & Bächli (1990: 215, Fig. 58 E Fig. 58; 323, Fig. 166 B) for the noticeably smaller female paralectotype of Drosophila boliviana Duda, 1927, collected from “ Yungas von Coroico ”, Bolivia. The cited authors considered the two female paralectotypes of the type series of D. boliviana as belonging to distinct species. As we suspect the smaller female paralectotype of Drosophila boliviana and Drosophila asymmetrica could be conspecific, the eventual capture and identification of a similar male from “ Yungas von Coroico ” would be desirable to confirm our suspicion.	en	Vaz, Suzana Casaccia, Vilela, Carlos Ribeiro, Carvalho, Antonio Bernardo (2018): Two new species of Drosophila (Diptera, Drosophilidae) associated with inflorescences of Goeppertia monophylla (Marantaceae) in the city of São Paulo, state of São Paulo, Brazil.

Named after Dr. Alexandre Afrânio Peixoto (1963 – 2013) for his research contributions on Drosophila genetics, evolution, and behavior (Laboratório de Biologia Molecular de Insetos, Fiocruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).	en	Vaz, Suzana Casaccia, Vilela, Carlos Ribeiro, Carvalho, Antonio Bernardo (2018): Two new species of Drosophila (Diptera, Drosophilidae) associated with inflorescences of Goeppertia monophylla (Marantaceae) in the city of São Paulo, state of São Paulo, Brazil.

03838796FF9A5B78FCDC0A26AE6EF9C1.taxon	discussion	Note. Five isofemale lines of Drosophila peixotoi sp. nov. were established by Flavia J. Krsticevic from flies aspirated from inflorescences of Goeppertia cylindrica of a private backyard garden in Santa Teresa district, Rio de Janeiro. The five isofemale lines (coded STA-KF 7, STA-KF 8, STA-KF 9, STA-KF 11, STA-KF 12) were reared for several generations on a G. cylindrica enriched medium described in Vaz et al. (2014), and samples are preserved in ethanol in the laboratory of one of us (ABC). However, it should be pointed out that no adults of Drosophila peixotoi sp. nov. emerged from G. cylindrica inflorescences collected in the Jardim Botânico district (22 ◦ 57.95 Ɩ S, 43 ◦ 14.31 Ɩ W), adjacent to Parque Nacional da Tijuca (Rio de Janeiro city), although they were frequently found feeding on these inflorescences in nature (Vaz et al., 2014: 610, 611 [Tables 3, 4]).	en	Vaz, Suzana Casaccia, Vilela, Carlos Ribeiro, Carvalho, Antonio Bernardo (2018): Two new species of Drosophila (Diptera, Drosophilidae) associated with inflorescences of Goeppertia monophylla (Marantaceae) in the city of São Paulo, state of São Paulo, Brazil.
