Abstract
The mitotic metaphases of five Andean species of genus Drosophila are described for the first time. The evolutionary and interspecific genetic relationships within three Neotropical Drosophila species groups are analyzed. The diploid chromosome number for each species is as follows: D. cashapamba Céspedes et Rafael, 2012 2n = 6 (2V, 1J) (X = J, Y = R), D. ecuatoriana Vela et Rafael, 2004 2n = 10 (3R, 2V) (X = V, Y = R), D. ninarumi Vela et Rafael, 2005 2n = 10 (3R, 1V, 1D) (X = V, Y = R), D. urcu Vela et Rafael, 2005 2n = 12 (4R, 2V) (X = V, Y = R), D. valenteae Llangarí-Arizo et Rafael, 2018 2n = 8 (3R, 1J) (X = J, Y = R).
