[Vol.. Ill, 



by Fabricius (Syst. Antl., 277, 23) and in Trypeta by Wiedemann (Auss. Zweifl., ii, 488, 



ig), A very interesting species, on which the new genus Staurella is founded. Type at 



Kiel. 

 68. **cucumis (Dacus), French, 1907 (Journ. of Agric. Victoria, May, and Bull. 26, Dept. Agric. 



Victoria) from Queensland and New South Wales Described as a variety of tryoni ; 



Froggatt (Report, 1909, 80) thinks that it is a different species ; and it is in fact a good 



species of Badrocera, of which I have specimens in my collection. 

 69 ^Cucurbitae {Dacus), Coquillett, 1899 (Ent. News, 129) from Hawaii. Recorded from India by 



Froggatt (Report, 1909, 81, pi. ii, f. 6-7). It is a true Bactrocera ; type in Washington, 



U. S. National Museum, 



70. curvifer (Dacus), Walker, 1862 (Proc. Linn. Soc, vii, 229, 34) from Waigiou. Seems to be a 



Bactrocera. Type in London. 



71. **curvtpenms (Dacus) Froggatt, 1909 (Report, 93, pi. iv, f. 15 and 16) from Fiji. A Bactro- 



cera, with two scutellar bristles. Type in Sydney, Agric. Dept. collection. 



72. *cylindrica (Trypeta), Walker, 1853 (Ins. Saunders., iv, 380, pi. viii, f. 6) from East India. 



Doubtful if a Trypaneid or an Ortalid, allied with Adrana. Type in London. 



73. cylindricus (Dacus), Van der Wulp, 1880 (Tijdschr. v. Entom., xxiii, 181, 43, pi. 11, f. 5) from 



Java. As stated by Osten-Sacken (1882, p. 211) this is synonymous with Adrama 

 determinata, Walk. ; this synonymy was subsequently accepted by Van der Wulp himself 

 (Tijdschr. v. Entom., xxx, 176, 2, 188S). 



74. debeaufortii (Rioxa), Meijere, 1906 (Dipt. Exped. N. Guinea, 94, 2, pi. i, f. 17) from N. 



Guinea. On account of the very different pattern of the wings, this species can hardly be 

 a true Rioxa, notwithstanding, the presence of the prst. and of the six scutellar bristles ; it 

 belongs perhaps to a new genus, but may be allied to Xiria, or to Henicoptera. Type at 

 Amsterdam ? 



75. **dentipes (Lenophila), Guérin-Méné ville, 1843 (Rev. Zool, vi, 200, 5) from Port Jackson 



(Sydney). Froggatt (Rep., 1909, p. 106) records that the typeis in Bigot's (Verrall's) 

 collection at Newmarket. A particular genus, described by the author as a subgenus of 

 Ceratitis. 



76. determinatus (Dacus), Walker, 1856 (Proc. Linn. Soc, i, 133, 154) from Borneo. As stated 



by Osten-Sacken (1881, p. 279), this is an Ortalid of the genus Adrama. Type in London, 

 seen by Osten-Sacken (1882, p. 210). But recently Prof. Hendel has stated (Wien. Entom. 

 Zeit., xxxi, p. 12) that this genus belongs to the Trypaueids. 



77. detrudens (Dacus), Walker, 1863 (Proc. Linn. Soc, viii, 135, 11) from Salwatty, N. Guinea, 



Seems to be an Ortalid, perhaps a Pseudepicausta, Hendel; type in London. 



78. devius [Dacus), Walker, 1861 (Proc. Linn. Soc, v, 250, 67) from N. Guinea. Said to be 



allied to divergens and addens, and therefore perhaps an OrtaUd, according to Hendel it is a 

 Antineura. Type in London. 



79. diffusus (Dacus), Walker, i860 (Proc. Linn. Soc, iv, 153, 185) from Macassar. Seems to be a 



Bactrocera with banded face. Type in London. 



80. diluta (Oxyna), Becker, 1907 (Mem. Acad. Sei. St. Petersburg, xii, 289, 60, pi. i, f. 7) from 



Turkestan. A true Oxyna ; type at St. Petersburg. 



81. discipennis (Dacus), Walker, 1861 (Proc. Linn. Soc, v, 294, 87) from Batjan. Said to be 



allied to emittens, seems to be a Bactrocera ; type in London. 



82. **dispar (Cardiocera), MacqnaTt, 1847 (Mem. Soc. Sei. Lille, 108 [92], pi. ii, f. 3), from Tas- 



mania. Seems to be an interesting genus of Trypaneids. 



83. distorta (Sophira), Walker, 1857 (Trans. Eat. Soc. (2) iv. 230) from Celebes. Osten-Sacken, 



who has seen the type in the British Museum (1881, p. 481), placed this species among the 

 Ortalids. 



84. divergens (Dacus), Walker, i860 (Proc. Linn. Soc, iv, 149, 176) from Macassar. Seems to be
