Drosophila montgomeryi is an endangered species of fly from the lineage of Hawaiian Drosophilidae. It is found on the island of Oahu.[1]

Description

Drosophila montgomeryi was described in 1971 by D. Elmo Hardy and Kenneth Kaneshiro from specimens collected from the Waianae mountains.[2][3]

D. montgomeryi, like other species in the vesciseta subgroup of picture-wing flies,[4] has a mostly rufous thorax and wings with a prominent dark spot in the cell R1.[1] It can be distinguished from the similar species D. pisonia by a narrow, brown stripe on each side of the thorax, among other characters.

Conservation

Drosophila montgomeryi was listed as federally endangered in 2006 along with ten other species of picture-wing Drosophila.[1] One threat to the conservation of D. montgomeryi is that at least one of its host plants, Urera kaalae, is also very rare and has been listed as federally endangered.[1][5]
