DrosophiliniCladochaetini The Drosophilinae are the largest subfamily in the Drosophilidae.

Many molecular studies have addressed small parts of the phylogenetic tree.

Most of these studies are limited to species of the genus Drosophila.

The genus Drosophila is paraphyletic as several genera, such as Zaprionus, Scaptomyza and Lordiphosa, are positioned within the genus.

Position of the bolded species in the phylogenetic tree is at least reasonably well supported by existing molecular evidence.
