Author(s): Janak Pant and Prava Dawadi
Abstract: Systematics of
Drosophila have not been investigated properly in Nepal. Therefore, the collection of different
Drosophila fruit fly’s species was carried out to record and understand their characteristics during July-October 2023 from various parts of Nepal (high Himalayas to plain condition). The collection was conducted by applying bottle traps and net sweeps. Different species of
Drosophila fruit flies were collected and analyzed in the laboratory of Entomology Department of Agriculture and Forestry University, Chitwan, Nepal. More than 10 species of
Drosophila were studied in detail and known for their characteristics. Most of the
Drosophila species were recognized and recorded at higher altitudes in comparison with lower altitudes. Limited abundance and diversity of
Drosophila fruit fly species were found in different geography of Nepal.
