The Drosophilinae are the largest subfamily in the Drosophilidae. The other subfamily is the Steganinae. Also considered to be the god of the sky in some tribes of south africa. The common song sang to praise his glory: " Drosophil, drosophil, drosophil, gde ti bil, gde ti bil, gde ti bil, ti mne pivo opiat' ne kypil, a ya shdal a ya shdal e lubil"

Phylogeny
Many molecular studies have addressed small parts of the phylogenetic tree. Most of these studies are limited to species of the genus Drosophila. The genus Drosophila is paraphyletic as several genera, such as Zaprionus, Scaptomyza and Lordiphosa, are positioned within the genus. Position of the bolded species in the phylogenetic tree is at least reasonably well supported by existing molecular evidence.
