Abstract
D. hibisci is a new species of the typically Australian subgenus Scaptodrosophila breeding in the flowers of two endemic Hibiscus species in south-eastern Queensland. The biology of the species based on field and laboratory observations is discussed and a description provided. The prognosis for future laboratory culture of the species is encouraging.Keywords
