Drosophila albomicans is a species of vinegar fly in the family Drosophilidae.

The D. albomicans genome was first sequenced in 2012 to study the evolution of novel sex chromosomes, a characteristic this species is best known for.

Instead, behavioural differences appear to reproductively isolate these two species.

The related species Drosophila immigrans has been used in evolutionary studies to understand how viruses evolve with their hosts.
