The Hawaiian Drosophilidae are comprised of an estimated 1000 species, all arising from a single common ancestor in the last 25 million years. This group, because of its species diversity, marked sexual dimorphism and complex mating behavior, host plant specificity, and the well-known chronology of the Hawaiian Archipelago, is an excellent model system for evolutionary studies. Here we present a phylogeny of this group based on similar to 2.6 kb of mitochondrial DNA sequence. Our taxon sampling is the most extensive to date, with nearly 200 species representing all species groups and most subgroups from the larger clades. Our results suggest that the picture wing and modified mouth part species, long believed to be derived within this radiation, may actually occupy a basal position in the phylogeny. The haleakale species group, in contrast, is strongly supported as sister to the AMC clade. We use the phylogenetic results to examine the evolution of two important ecological characters, the host family and type of substrate used for oviposition and larval development. Although both host and substrate transitions are common in the group, oviposition substrate is more conserved among species groups than host plant family. While the ancestral host plant family is equivocally reconstructed, our results suggest that the ancestor of this group may have used rotting bark as a primary oviposition substrate.
