 (PI. viii, fig. 8.) 

 Fabricius, Syst. Antl., 276 16, [Dacus] (1805) ; Wiedemann p. p., Auss. Zweifl., ii, 518. 8 [Dacus] 

 (1830); Walker, I^ist Dipt. Brit. Mus., iv, 1073 [Dasyneiira] (1849); Meijere, Tijdschr. v. 

 Entom., li, 179. 5 [Dacus] (1908) ; Bezzi, Boll. Labor. Zool. Portici, iii, 294 and 300 [Dacus] 

 (1909) ; Enderlein, Zoolog. Jahrbuch., xxxi, 409 [Dacus] (1911) ; Hendel, Suppl. Entom., i, 16, 2, 

 pi. i, f. 2 [Dacus] (1912). 



A large species very much like the preceding, but at once distinguished by the 

 four bristles of the scutellum and by the posterior cross-vein being only a little 

 darkened in the lower portion. 



The black markings on the mesonotum are much more marked than in the pre- 

 ceding, but rather variable. Male characters as in the preceding. 



The specimen from Bigot's (Verrall's) collection described by Mr. Froggatt in his 

 Report, p. 95, seems to belong to another species. On the other hand the fernigi- 

 neus described by Macquart (Dipt. exot. Suppl. 3, 224, (64) pi. vii. f. 8 and Suppl. 

 4, 257 (284) 2, pi. xxvi. f. 8 [Dacus^ 1847 and 1851) seems to belong here. 



This species was originally described from Java, but Walker has recorded it 

 from North Bengal, and Enderlein and Hendel have it from Formosa. In the collec- 

 tion are examples from Shillong, Assam ; Tenasserim, lyower Burma \ Calcutta ; Dehra 

 Dun, United Provinces; Kurseong, 5000 ft., E. Himalayas; Sikhim; Katmandu; 

 Bhowali, Kumaon, 5700 ft., 26-vi-io {A. D. Imms). A specimen from Sadiya, Assam, 

 bears a label in Bigot's handwriting: D. nigrolineatus d n. sp., but this species has 

 never been published. Another specimen from Sylhet (Major Hall) and some speci- 

 mens from Peradeniya, Ceylon, Jan. 1910. 



7. Bactrocera garciniac, n. sp. cT , 5 . 

 (PI. viii, fig. 9). 



Very closely allied to the preceding, but distinct in having an entirely ferrugi- 

 nous thorax, a black shining band on the femora below, and the third segment of 

 the abdomen of the male not ciliated. I^ength 8-9 mm. 



Head entirely yellow, whitish poUinose near the eyes; a brown spot on the 

 frons above the antennae; two large subquadrate shining black spots on the face, 

 their inner lower corner reaching the epistome ; a brown subtriangular spot on the 

 cheeks below the eye; a small black ocellar dot; antennae very long, the third joint 

 a little darkened at the end ; arista yellow at the base ; palpi and proboscis yellow ; 

 all the bristles black, the or. i. 2, inserted on less distinct brown dots. 



Thorax ferruginous, opaque in the middle, without black lateral markings on 

 the back, the post-sutural yellow lateral stripe not being striking, because its brown 

 inner border is less distinct ; humeri broadly yellow ; a broad mesopleural shining 

 yellow stripe, reaching the yellow upper border of the sternopleura ; the mesopleura 

 before this stripe and the sternopleura below are blackish ; a large yellow double
