Abstract
Drosophilid flies of the Russian Arctic are reviewed. Thirteen species of Drosophilidae are recorded: one from the genus Stegana, seven from Drosophila and five from Scaptomyza. The northernmost localities in the Palaearctic are recorded for D. melanogaster Meigen, 1830 and D. hydai Sturtevant, 1921. Scaptomyza yakutica Sidorenko et Toda, 1996 described from Yakutia was found for the first time in Europe (the European part of Russia). Seven species of Drosophilidae are found in the tundra biome. The finding of Drosophilidae in the tundra zone contradicts the view on the absence of “wild” drosophilids in this zone.
