RESUMO

ABSTRACT Four new species of the genus Drosophila are described. Drosophila valenteae sp. nov., collected in a remnant of Andean forest of the province of Pichincha, belongs to the group D. guarani. Drosophila cumanda sp. nov., collected in the eastern Andes of the province of Napo, belongs to the group D. annulimana. The species D. cruzloma sp. nov., collected in the paramo of the province of Pichincha, and D. tinalandia sp. nov., collected in the western Andes of the province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, although it belongs to the subgenus Drosophila, were not assigned to any group of species. However D. tinalandia sp. nov. was captured in inflorescences of species of the genus Xanthosoma spp. (Araceae), therefore it could be related to an anthophilic group.
