This species was original'y bred from oranges {Citrus aiiranthim).. 

 In his paper Bezzi gives the following records : — 



Pusa, adults ; Bangalore, adult ; Machavaram, Godavari Distric. ; 

 Coimbatore ; Nagpur, larva in bottle-gourd ; Dehra Dun. 



The Pusa collection contains specimens reared at Peradeniya fioni 

 larvee in mango and at Mandalay from larvse in plantain. 



The females are attracted by the smell of soursop {Anona muruata). Mr. SjQicf-Wiiica. 



That is a useful observation. The male-; of many of these fi uit flies Mr. Fie tcliar. 

 are readily attracted to smells, but that provides no means of control as 

 it is the females which do the damage. If we can attract the females, 

 the ca.-e becomes different.
