Hawaiian Drosophilidae: Modified Mouthparts IV

The diverse Drosophila of Hawai'i consists of four main lineages. The largest of these four clades is the polyphagous modified mouthparts drosophila, which are morphologically and ecologically distinct. All 106 described species are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands and exhibit modifications of the labellum (mouth) for courtship and feeding purposes. Although the larvae breed on stems, fruits, flowers and bark of a variety of host families, most are substrate and host-specific. Being the largest of the four lineages, it is surprising that it is also the most poorly studied. Please contribute and transcribe the modified mouthpart specimens of the Insect Museum.This expedition of 537 tasks is fully transcribed and validated. This data resource is harvested periodically into the main occurrence index.

夏威夷多样的果蝇（Drosophila）包含四个主要谱系。这四个分支中最大的一支是杂食性口器特化果蝇，它们在形态学和生态学特征上具有显著差异。目前已描述的106个物种均为夏威夷群岛特有，其唇瓣（口器）发生特化，以适应求偶与取食需求。尽管幼虫可在多种寄主科植物的茎、果实、花和树皮上繁殖，但多数物种具有底物与寄主专一性。作为四个谱系中最大的一支，其研究程度却最为匮乏，这一点令人惊讶。诚邀您参与昆虫博物馆口器特化标本的转录工作。本次包含537项任务的考察工作已完成全部转录与验证。该数据资源会定期整合至主分布索引中。
