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 
compared, but have been found different:

Most of the very numerous species of “Dacus” described by 
Walker from the Malay Archipelago belong to other genera of
