  abstract = {{I}n this study, the phylogenetic relationships of 164 species of the family {D}rosophilidae are discussed, using the {A}myrel gene, a member of the alpha-amylase multigene family. {T}his study focuses on numerous species groups in the subgenera {S}ophophora and {D}rosophila of the genus {D}rosophila but also includes other closely related genera. {N}ucleotide data were analysed by several methods: maximum parsimony, neighbour joining, maximum likelihood and {B}ayesian inference. {H}eterogeneity of base composition (mainly low {GC} contents in the species groups willistoni and saltans) has been addressed. {I}n all analyses, the genus {D}rosophila appeared paraphyletic. {T}he subgenus {S}ophophora clearly appeared to be a monophyletic group, showing well-resolved clades, with the {N}eotropical groups arising in a basal position. {H}ere, it is proposed to raise the species subgroups ananassae and montium to the rank of species group, and to restrict the melanogaster species group to the melanogaster subgroup plus the '{O}riental' subgroups, among which the suzukii subgroup is polyphyletic. {S}ome related genera such as {Z}aprionus, {L}iodrosophila, {S}captomyza and {H}irtodrosophila are clustered with, or inside the subgenus {D}rosophila, which is therefore paraphyletic and should be reviewed.},
