Male external genitalia with primary and secondary claspers, secondary clasper usually with very large bristles (but note that Drosophila paraviaristata Takada, Momma and Shima 1973 , is an exception in this respect); sex comb in almost all species (exceptions discussed by Bock 1980 and Lemeunier et al. 1986) with longitudinal rows of teeth along metatarsus and second tarsal segment; abdominal colour dimorphism rarely present ( D. jambulina is one of several exceptions), most species possessing shiny yellowish or brown tergites with clearly defined apical black bands in both sexes; abdominal tergites with sparse large apical bristles ( Bock 1980).
