Description
Drosophila (Sophophora) pseudoobscura Frolova, 1929
Drosophila pseudoobscura Frolova, 1929: 212. Type /s and depository unknown. North America.
Drosophila lancefieldi Ginsburg, 1940. Nomen nudum.
Distribution: AU: New Zealand. NE: British Columbia to Montana, s. to Bolivia.
Egyptian localities: Coastal Strip: Alexandria (Yassin & Abou-Youssef 2004).
Dates of collection: May to October.
Remarks: This is an Australasian and Nearctic species, not Palaearctic, so we think it was probably misidentified by Yassin & Abou-Youssef (2004). Unfortunately the specimens of this identification are not available to ensure the identification.
