The sequence of 1.6 kb of DNA surrounding the alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) gene from five species of the Planitibia subgroup of the Hawaiian picture-winged Drosophila, with estimated divergence times of 0.4-5.1 Myr, has been determined. The gene trees which were found by using the sequence divergence from different regions of the sequences are generally in accord with the phylogeny proposed for these species when chromosomal inversions and island of origin are used. One of the species (D. picticornis) appears to be more distant from the other species in this group than they are from a member of the Grimshawi group (D. affinidisjuncta) which is chromosomally more distant. Two of the species (D. differens and D. plantibia) show heterogeneity in the nucleotide changes in the Adh coding region, heterogeneity which is interpreted to be due to a gene conversion or recombination after hybridization between the two species. The minimal rate of nucleotide substitution of synonymous nucleotides and of nontranscribed nucleotides downstream from the coding region is estimated as 1.5 x 10(-8) and 1.1 x 10(-8) substitutions/nucleotide/year, respectively. This rate is two to three times the maximal rate estimated for mammalian synonymous substitutions.
