Most of the genera of Drosophilinae are modified
Drosophila. Millions of years ago a
Drosophila landed in Hawaii, lost some weight, and returned to the mainland as a slim
Scaptomyza. By modern taxonomic guidelines
Scaptomyza should be merely a subgenus of
Drosophila or all the subgenera of
Drosophila should be promoted to full genera.
