(15) A sequence comparison among four independently cloned copies of the family from D. tristis and another homologous sequence from D. obscura, found by chance, shows a one to six per cent variation in basepair composition.
(16) Five differentiated clusters were found for the obscura subgroup species, one Nearctic, represented by Drosophila pseudoobscura, and four Palearctic, two grouping the related triads of species Drosophila subobscura, Drosophila madeirensis, Drosophila obscura, Drosophila subsilvestris, and two more represented by one species each, Drosophila bifasciata, and Drosophila tristis.
(17) The total mtDNA size range for the obscura subgroup species was from 15.5 kb for D. pseudoobscura to 17.1 for D. tristis.
