Drosophila fastigata Hardy, 1965: 271 View in CoL –273
Diagnosis. Legs entirely yellow. Apex of the basitarsus extends dorsally into a hatchet shaped lobe with two setae. The second tarsal segment is as long as wide and not concave. Wings hyaline, lacking distinct markings (see Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 e for example). Thorax brown tinged with yellow, darker dorsally. Scutellum ranges from dark brown to black. Abdominal tergites are brown, except for last tergite which is yellow.
Types. O‘ AHU: Holotype ɗ (BPBM 6529) Pūpūkea, vii.1958, DEH ( Evenhuis 1982).
Material Examined. O‘AHU: 9 ɗ have been studied from the BPBM: ɗ, Poamoho Trail, 1700’, v.1953, DEH; ɗ, Mt. Ka‘ala, iv.1929, EHB; 2 ɗ, Manoa Cliff Trail Trail, ii.2007, KNM; 5 ɗ, Mt. Ka‘ala, 3950’, v.2007, KNM.
Distribution. This species is endemic to the island of O‘ahu.
Ecology. This species has been reared from leaves of Cheirodendron platyphyllum (Araliaceae) ( Heed 1968).
Illustrations. Foreleg ( Hardy 1965: 272, fig. 93a); terminalia, male, lateral ( Hardy 1965: 272, figs. 93b, c).
Discussion. D. fastigata is the only spoon tarsus species endemic to O‘ahu. Due to its morphological similarity to D. atroscutellata , this species is included in this group, but is also considered basal due to the reduced spoon.
