Phenotypic variation of the Aedeagus of Drosophila serido Vilela & Sene (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Drosophila serido Vilela & Sene is a polytypic and cactophilic species with broad geographic distribution in Brazil. The morphology of the aedeagi of eight natural populations of D. serido was analyzed. Based on features of their aedeagi, populations of D. serido were discriminated with an effic...
