Drosophila (Drosophila) padangensis Zhang et Toda, 1995

Diagnosis: Abdominal tergites mostly yellow, slightly brownish on caudal margin. Male fore tarsus with short recurved setae. Hypandrial process broad, short, apically truncate, with numerous spinules on surface. Dorsal process of aedeagus broad, distally deeply bifurcated, with many spinules on lateral surface, laterobasally with 1 pair of broad, somewhat triangular, apically serrate flaps.

Remark: This species is closely related to D. burmae Toda, 1985 and D. synpanishi Okada, 1964, but distinguishable from these two species by the diagnostic characters, i.e., in burmae the hypandrial process smooth on surface; in synpanishi the hypandrial process distally tapering and dorsal process of aedeagus laterally with 1 pair of narrow, acute projections.

Distribution: Sumatra.
