rasper extends to within 0.54 mm. of the base 
of the segment. The basal segment is about 
1.11 mm. long by 0.99 mm. wide at its widest 
point. 
Length: Body, 6. 0-7.0 mm.; wings, 5.5- 
6.0 mm. 
TYPE LOCALITY: Stuart Islands. 
Type probably in Vienna. 
Perkins {loc. cit.) recorded this species from 
Malaya. We have not seen specimens from 
the areas covered in this report. We have a 
good series on hand from Rabaul, New Brit- 
ain, Nov., 1949 , ex ''Aila,” Psidium guajava, 
and mango (N. L. H. Krauss); Utragal, Wo- 
leai Island (Caroline), July 28, 1946, ex Eugenia 
(R. G. Oakley); Dublon, Truk, Feb., 1948 
(K. L. Maehler); Kwajalein, Apr., 1948 (K. 
L. Maehler). 
Dacus (Strumeta) froggatti (Bezzi) 
Fig. 11 
Chaetodacus froggatti Bezzi, 1928, Dipt. Fiji 
Islands, 101. Change of name for Dacus 
zonatus Froggatt (1911) nec zonatus Saun- 
ders (1841). 
Strumeta? moluccensis Perkins, 1939, Queens- 
land Univ., Dept. Biol. 1(10): 17-18, pi. 
1, fig. 12. New synonymy based upon a 
study of specimens from Indonesia, New 
Britain, New Guinea, and the Solomon 
Islands. 
Perkins separated froggatti from moluccensis 
by its having the "mesonotum mostly black 
in front of the suture," as distinguished from 
"mostly red in front of the suture" in moluc- 
censis. His description also indicates that frog- 
gatti has no "complete black band along the 
anterior border of the third abdominal tergite" 
and moluccensis has a narrow black band. No 
specimens have been seen which have the 
anterior median portion of the mesonotum 
black (his specimens must have been dis- 
colored), and the black basal band on the
