From the above enumerations it is to be seen that Chaetoda- 

 cus dorsalis, C. cucurbitae, and C. caudatus are common to the 

 four countries ; while C. maculipennis and C. hageni are common 

 to India and Java, and Bactrocera umbrosa is common to Java 

 and the Philippines. Of the three widely spread species C. f. 

 dorsalis is the commonest representative of the ferrugineus 

 group, which is the eminently characteristic Chaetodacus from 

 the Orient; C. cucurbitae and C. caudatus are widely distributed 

 over the region as well as over the islands of the Pacific Ocean, 

 probably in connection with man and commerce. The other 

 species are in great probability endemic ; but even among these 

 attention must be given to the forms spread by man. 



The descriptions of the following species have been carefully
