Abstract

An application to conserve the current usage of the widely used name Drosophila Fallén, 1823 (a genus of flies widely used in biological research, particularly in genetics and developmental biology) in the face of potential taxonomic revision, by the designation of Drosophila melanogaster Meigen, 1830 (currently the type species of the subgenus Sophophora Sturtevant, 1939) as the type species of Drosophila, was not approved by the Commission. Drosophila funebris is maintained as the type species of the genus Drosophila Fallén, 1823.
