 This Drosophila was caught today, indoors in Amsterdam Sciencepark, the Netherlands. It is a male, without tarsal combs and setae on the scutum have dark spots at the base. There are no long setae on the front tarsae, like in D. hydei. With the key of Baechli et.al. 2004 I end up at D. meractorum. Can anyone confirm or disprove on the basis of these photo's or additional features or photos?
