Phylogenetic relationships of the main lineages in Drosophila. Phylogeny constructed using maximum likelihood with concatenated Adh, amd, engrailed and glass protein sequences. Support values represent 100 bootstraps. Included species encompass much of the diversity of Drosophila, and form the basis of comparative work in this study. These sequences were generated from FlyBase curated protein translations and recently available sequence data from D. albomicans, D. guttifera, D. neotestacea, S. lebanonensis, and P. variegata. The subgenera Sophophora and Drosophila are estimated to have diverged 25-40 Ma (Obbard et al., 2012)
