We isolated and characterized 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci in Drosophila hydei . The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 8 ( N = 23 individuals). Polymorphic information content ranged from 0.316 to 0.750 and observed heterozygosity from 0.261 to 0.913. These markers will be valuable in studies of sexual selection and parental investment in D. hydei .
