Have a look at: Pelandakis and Solignac (1993) Molecular phylogeny of _Drosophila_ based on ribosomal RNA sequences. J Mol Evol 37: 525-543. DeSalle (1992) The phylgenetic relationships of flies in the family Drosophilidae deduced from mtDNA sequences. Mol Phylo Evol 1:31-40. DeSalle (991) Morphological andd molecular systematics of the Drosophilidae. Ann Rev Ecol Syst 22: 447-475. Also, I think Rob DeSalle has a paper in the latest Systematic Biology (vol 42 #4 - sorry, I don't have the page numbers) on _Drosophila_ phylogeny. I hope that helps.
