[1] Members of the subgenus Drosophila can be distinguished from other drosophilid species by breaks in the pigmentation along the dorsal section of their abdomen.

Additionally, several smaller species groups are recognized consisting of smaller numbers of species, like the tumiditarsus species group and the polychaeta species group.
