Numerous species may come to fermenting substances of any kind. Several seem to prefer fermenting tree sap, among others the species of the (former sub-)genus Scaptodrosophila, including the species S. deflexa and S. rufifrons. Moreover, some other (morphologically different) genera can be found near sapruns as well, for example Amiota, Leucophenga and Stegana.
