Description
Drosophila hemipeza flies are yellow with two brown dorsal stripes, slender legs, and relatively long, slightly pointed, wings. These flies are only found in native mesic forest on the island of Oahu. They have been recorded breeding on bark from opuhe (Urera kaalae), as well as on plants in the genera Cyanea and Lobelia. This species was described by D. Elmo Hardy in 1965 as Idiomyia hemipeza. Its name was changed when Idiomyia was merged into the genus Drosophila by Hampton L. Carson and others in 1967.
