Abstract
The spoon tarsus species subgroup is revised and this clade is placed in the modified tarsus group of Hawaiian Drosophila. The species boundaries in this group are discussed in light of diagnostic secondary sexual characters of males. Drosophila septuosa Hardy is regarded as a junior synonym of Drosophila percnosoma Hardy. A new species, Drosophila kikalaeleele Lapoint, Magnacca & O’Grady is described. Drosophila fastigata Hardy, a species endemic to O‘ahu, is added to the species subgroup, bringing the total number of known species to 12. An updated key to species is provided to the spoon tarsus subgroup.References
