apex of the abdomen, is shorter than the 
length of the fifth segment. The basal seg- 
ment of the ovipositor is largely concealed in 
the concave underportion of the abdomen. 
The extended ovipositor is 7.8 mm. long 
(Fig. 2d). The base is about 2.0 mm. long; 
the rasper segment is about 3.2 mm. long 
and the piercer is 2.6 mm. The rasper occupies 
the median portion of the eighth segment; 
it is 0.56 mm. long and is situated about 1.32 
mm. from the base of the segment and about 
1.32 mm. from the apex. The scales of the 
rasper are sharply pointed. The piercer is 
straight sided to the apex of the oviduct, and 
beyond this it tapers to a sharp point. The 
opening of the oviduct is situated about 0.56 
mm. from the tip of the piercer. At its broad- 
est point the piercer is about 0.19 mm. in 
width. The preapical setae are very tiny and 
are not visible except under high magnifica- 
tion (Fig. 2e). 
Length: Body, 9-0-10.0 mm.; wings, 8.0- 
9.0 mm. 
TYPE locality: Makassar. 
Type in the British Museum. 
Several hundred specimens have been stud- 
ied from Tamparuli, Borneo, Jan. to June, 
1951, ex Ltiffa acutangula and cucumber (F. 
E. Skinner and G. Angalet). 
Optus angaleti Fullaway may be a parasite 
of this species; it has been reared from fruits 
infested with both this species and Dacus 
iZeugodacus) hageni de Meijere.
