The paraphyletic subgenus Sophophora of the genus Drosophila was first described by Alfred Sturtevant in 1939.[1] It contains the best-known drosophilid species, Drosophila melanogaster. Sophophora translates as carrier (phora) of wisdom (sophos). The subgenus is paraphyletic because the genus Lordiphosa[2][3] and the species Hirtodrosophila duncani[4][5] are also placed within this subgenus.
Phylogeny
  | 
Currently, 10 species groups are recognized, in two main groups, the New World and the Old World[5][6][7]
Old World:
- melanogaster species group (65 species, including D. melanogaster and D. simulans)
 - montium species group (88)
 - ananassae species group (24)
 - obscura species group (44)
 - dentissima species group (17)
 - fima species group (23)
 - dispar species group (2)
 - settifemur species group (2)
 
New World:
- saltans species group (21)
 - willistoni species group (23)
