Chromosomes (Figs. 58 - 63). Basic diploid chromosome number of 2 n = 12, XX in females and XY in males (Figs. 58 - 61), with the haploid karyotype formula: 5 R, 1 D. The 4 pairs of autosomes range from medium to small-sized acrocentrics but smaller than any of the sex chromosomes. In early C-banded prometaphase cells, the autosomes show a short heterochromatic arm (Fig. 59). The X chromosome, the biggest of the complement, has a large block of pericentromeric heterochromatin that covers almost half of its length and a tiny heterochromatic short arm, while the Y is heterochromatic and shorter than the X (Fig. 60, 61). Dot chromosomes are quite small. Prophase I cells of male meiosis show four bivalents representing the pairs 2, 3, 4, 5, the small dot chromosomes, and the heterologous XY association (Figs. 62, 63). The autosome bivalents pair along their length excepting the centric and paracentromeric regions. The sex chromosomes pair at a specific site, located at the distal heterochromatic region in the X and the proximal region in the Y chromosome (Figs. 62, 63).	en	Goñi, Beatriz, Vilela, Carlos R.

95286A0BC71FFFBBFD548554FBAEFECF.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species belongs to the subgroup I (cf. VILELA 1992: 198) of the Drosophila tripunctata species group of the subgenus Drosophila. It shares with D. angustibucca, D. mediocris, D. medioobscurata, D. nappae, D. neoguaramunu, D. platitarsus, D. rostrata, and D. setula, the following remarkable features: aedeagus dorsally with a small, sclerotized, crescent-shaped plate at subdistal area, and anterodorsally bearing a pair of finger-shaped (sometimes diffuse) and backwards directed processes. The processes are small, diffuse and mostly membranous in all species except in D. nappae, where they are only slightly membranous and proportionally longer; and they are even longer in D. montevidensis sp. nov. Additionally, all of them but the latter two, have in common a sclerotized, inverted T-shaped area partially surrounded by the pair of processes in the anterodorsal, mostly membranous surface of aedeagus. The karyotype of four out of the eight species included in the subgroup I of the Drosophila tripunctata group, namely D. nappae (originally referred to as D. angustibucca) (see FRANCK et al. 1984 and PIRES 2000 [as Drosophila sp. U 3]), D. neoguaramunu (see FRYDENBERG 1956), D. platitarsus (see PIRES 2000) and D. setula (see CLAYTON & WASSERMAN 1957), were reported. Apparently, the observed haploid karyotype of D. montevidensis sp. nov. (n = 6) is indistinguishable from D. nappae, with 5 R, 1 D (Y chromosome is a rod shorter than X); however, it differs remarkably from the haploid karyotype formula of D. neoguaramunu (n = 3), with 3 V (X chromosome considerably shorter than rod-shaped Y chromosome), in samples collected from Peru (FRYDENBERG 1956). The karyotype of these species differ from that of D. platitarsus (n = 6), being 4 R, 1 V, 1 D (V-shaped X and J-shaped Y), with heterochromatic pericentromeric regions in the rod-shaped pairs, the dots, but differ in the shape of the Y, and the location of the heterochromatin in the X chromosome (interstitially located in one arm, and proximally, at the pericentromeric region, in the other arm), in samples of an isofemale line derived from an individual collected at the Forest Reserve of the IB-USP, located in the Cidade Universitária “ Armando de Salles Oliveira ”, São Paulo city, state of São Paulo, Brazil (PIRES 2000). They also differ from that of D. setula (n = 6) with 4 R, 1 V, 1 D in a strain from Santa Martha, Colombia, and (n = 5 [?]) with 3 R, 1 V, 1 D (?) in a strain from Barro Colorado Is., Canal Zone, Panama (CLAYTON & WASSERMAN 1957). There is no description of the sex chromosomes for D. setula in the latter reference. These data reveal that, excepting for D. montevidensis sp. nov. and D. nappae, a high interspecific karyotype variation is found among three species of the subgroup I of D. tripunctata group. The polytene chromosomes map of D. nappae (misidentified as D. angustibucca) described by FRANCK et al. (1984) allows the opportunity to investigate the genetic divergence between this pair of sibling species by using polytene banding pattern as primary chromosomes markers. The feasibility to maintain laboratory strains of both sibling species let to investigate other biological aspects, such as life cycle, the existence or not of reproductive isolation mechanisms. So far, D. montevidensis sp. nov. has been collected in natural areas of southern Uruguay as well as in urban areas along both margins of Rio de la Plata (Buenos Aires and Montevideo cities), as well as other localities of the province of Buenos Aires and at southern and southeastern Departments of Uruguay (as detailed in material examined). Up to date, it has been absent in drosophilid samples emerged from decaying fruits collected in northern Uruguay, Department of Salto (B. Goñi, unpublished data). However, the apparently allopatric distribution of D. montevidensis sp. nov. and its sibling species, D. nappae, remains to be confirmed. Laboratory Cultures. It is cultivated at 18 ° C with a modified banana-agar culture medium (recipe above).	en	Goñi, Beatriz, Vilela, Carlos R.

Abdomen shining dark brown with a dorsal pattern of pale yellow areas except on the last tergite. Terminalia (Figs. 67 - 78). Epandrium microtrichose on posterior area; upper and lower setae absent; ventral lobe pointed at tip, bearing 1 robust terminal seta and 2 thin, subterminal setae (Fig. 67) arranged in tandem, not covering surstylus. Cercus mostly microtrichose on anterior area, slightly fused to epandrium on anteroventral corner; ventral surface without any sclerotized spine, but medially bearing four setae emerging from an irregular, sclerotized spot, preceded by a membranous, turned frontwards, rectangular area; ventral cercal lobe absent. Surstylus not microtrichose extensively fused to epandrium, with about 4 long, marginal setae, and three smaller, thinner setae on outer surface (Fig. 68). Decasternum with straight anterior and posterior margins, the former slightly incised at middle (not shown in Fig. 67 because anterior margin is curved frontwards), the latter medially protruding sharply backwards, as in Fig. 67. Hypandrium short, about half the length of epandrium, anteriorly narrow, anterior margin convex; posterior hypandrial process and dorsal arch absent (Fig. 69); gonopod posteriorly more sclerotized, laterally double-walled, linked to paraphysis by membranous tissue, bearing one tiny setula on middle inner margin (Figs. 70, 71). Aedeagus tiny, straight in lateral view, tube-shaped; distal tip membranous (Figs. 70 - 76). Paraphysis triangle-shaped (Fig. 74), ca. 2 / 3 aedeagus length, double-walled (Fig. 76), blunt at tip, bearing two tiny terminal setulae (Figs. 73, 74). Aedeagal apodeme rod-shaped, longer than aedeagus, posteriorly fused to it (Figs. 75, 76). Ventral rod absent. Female. Unknown.	en	Goñi, Beatriz, Vilela, Carlos R.

95286A0BC716FFBAFC3982DCFB3EF956.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Scaptomyza pipinna sp. nov. belongs to the subgenus Mesoscaptomyza. The male terminalia shows similarities with those of two species depicted by HACKMAN (1959) and WHEELER & TAKADA (1966: figs. 15.10 and 18.10). The straight aedeagus, although cylinder-shaped, reminds to those of S. paravittata Wheeler, 1952, from California, and S. setosa Wheeler & Takada, 1966, from Ecuador, which are somewhat cone-shaped; its decasternum and epandrium are similar to those of the Colombian S. striaticeps, from which it differs mainly by the absence of the paralobe sensu HACKMAN (1959).	en	Goñi, Beatriz, Vilela, Carlos R.

95286A0BC716FFBAFC3982DCFB3EF956.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name pipinna is a noun in apposition, in allusion to the tiny size (~ 81 µm long) of the aedeagus.	en	Goñi, Beatriz, Vilela, Carlos R. (2016): Two new Neotropical species of Drosophilinae (Diptera: Drosophilidae) from Uruguay.

95286A0BC716FFBAFC3982DCFB3EF956.taxon	discussion	Note. While transferring the terminalia sclerites from the microscope slides to the glass microvial, the epandrium and hypandrium have been accidentally lost and only the aedeagus + aedeagal apodeme and paraphyses, together with the remains of abdominal tergites and sternites, are preserved in the microvial attached to the double-mounted holotype.	en	Goñi, Beatriz, Vilela, Carlos R.
