During July 13 to August 11, 1980, the junior author had an oppotunity to make drosophilid flies collection at Inuvik (68°22' N, 133°45' W) and Tuktoyaktuk (69°26' N, 133°03' W), Northwest Territories of Canada, in the Permafrost Expedition of Hokkaido University. We report here the list of 16 species collected, including the description of a new species and collection records. The data on the last item are separately presented for each locality and for each collection method; banana trap (Tf), net-sweeping (S), and others (O) such as collections on fleshy fungi and tree trunks, or at cliff shelters. The faunal characteristics in biogeography and the ecological community structure will be reported elsewhere.
