In order to investigate the vertical distribution of drosophilid fauna in the mountain region of central Japan, drosophilid flies were collected at Nishikoma Station Research Forest, AFC, Shinshu University and the campsite near the Research Forest. Domestic species, such as Drosophila simulans, were dominant at the Oguro river campsite which was the lowest survey site (1025m). On the other hand, at the Research Forest, various forest dwelling species were collected according to different altitude or vegetation. Alpine species, such as D. alpina or D. maculinotata, were especially dominant at the survey site of coniferous forest where altitude was the highest (2450m). In this survey, domestic drosophilid flies were hardly collected at the Research Forest, so it may be concluded that the results of this study show the composition of the drosophilid community in the mountain environment where no disturbance from human activity has occurred.
