Abstract

Three new species of the dipterous family Drosophilidae are de- scribed: Chymomyza olympia from Washington, formerly reported as "?distincta Egger"; Leucophenga neovaria from Florida, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia and Venezuela; and Amiota huachucae from Arizona, formerly reported as albavictoria Patterson and Mainland. Two of the new species described here have been previously re- ported from the United States, but as tentative or erroneous identifica- tions of named species. The Holotypes are in the Drosophila Type and Reference Collection of the University of Texas. Some paratypes of each species are being placed in the U.S. National Museum collection.
