AB  - A monophyletic group of Drosophila hAT transposable elements, referred to as 
      Herves-like, was characterized and found to be present in 46% of 57 screened 
      Drosophila species. A remarkable characteristic of these elements is the presence 
      of a long array of minisatellite repeats (MnRs) in both subterminal extremities 
      of the elements. The copy number of these minisatellites was highly variable 
      between and within populations. Twenty-three strains of Drosophila willistoni, 
      covering its geographic distribution, were screened for polymorphism in the copy 
      number of 5' MnRs, showing a variation from 7 to 20 repeat copies. These MnRs are 
      well conserved among Drosophila species and probably function as transposase 
      binding sequences, as provided by short subterminal repeats in other hAT 
      elements. Miniature inverted repeat transposable elements were found in 27% of 
      species carrying Herves-like elements. Phylogenetic analysis showed incongruences 
      between transposable elements and species phylogenies, suggesting that at least 
      four horizontal transfer events have occurred.
