Females of the Drosophila virilis group of species may vibrate their wings during courtship producing songs consisting of trains of successive sound pulses (pulse song) or sinusoidal hums (sine song). In the present study we describe these songs and study their role in courtship using a transition analysis. To find out which songs should be classified as pulse songs and which ones as sine songs, we studied the inheritance of different song types in interspecific F1 hybrids. In only a few species did the females produce large quantities of song in successful courtships. The males' reactions to female songs varied from licking and singing to stopping the courtship. Pulse trains with short and long intervals between successive pulses appeared to be different forms of the pulse song, while sine song (sinusoidal hums) was inherited independently of the pulse song.
果蝇属（Drosophila virilis）物种组的雌性在求偶过程中可能会振动翅膀，发出由一连串连续声脉冲组成的歌声（脉冲歌）或正弦嗡嗡声（正弦歌）。在本研究中，我们描述了这些歌声，并使用转换分析研究它们在求偶中的作用。为了确定哪些歌声应归类为脉冲歌，哪些应归类为正弦歌，我们研究了种间F1杂种中不同歌声类型的遗传情况。只有少数物种的雌性在成功求偶时会大量发出歌声。雄性对雌性歌声的反应从舔舐、唱歌到停止求偶不等。连续脉冲之间间隔短和长的脉冲序列似乎是脉冲歌的不同形式，而正弦歌（正弦嗡嗡声）的遗传与脉冲歌无关。
