PACIFIC SCIENCE, VoL VIII, April, 1954 
A specimen in the U. S. National Museum 
labeled ”Los Banos, P. L, Baker” and ”1333” 
is apparently the type. 
Shiraki’s specimens of tibialis were from 
Kashoto and Taito, Eormosa, ex Cucurhita 
maxima Duch. 
A single female specimen was present in 
the collections from Bugo, Mindanao, P. I., 
Dec., 1949, ex "unidentified cucurbit” (F. E. 
Skinner). This specimen was reared from the 
same host material as a fairly large series of 
D. hageni. A specimen is also at hand from 
Los Banos, P. E, 1916 (F. X. Williams). 
Dacus (Zeugodacus) pendleburyi 
(Perkins), n. comb. 
Zeugodacus pendleburyi Vtikim, 1938, Roy. Soc. 
Queensland, Proc. 49(11): 141-142, fig. 4. 
Paradacus pendleburyi (PtdZms) Hering, 1952, 
Treubia 21(2): 266-261 . 
Hering placed this under Paradacus and de- 
scribed the allotype male as such. We believe 
it is obvious that he was incorrect in assuming 
that his specimen lacked prescutellar bristles; 
he said that because of the position of the pin 
through the prescutellar area he was unable 
to be sure of the presence or absence of these 
bristles. Perkins in the original description 
stated that prescutellars were present. 
D. pendleburyi is readily distinguished from 
other Zeugodacus, known from this region, by 
having just two postsutural yellow vittae and 
the usual black spots in the antennal furrows 
of the face. It is similar to D. timorensis (Per- 
kins) because of its dark brown to black legs 
and the broad black stripe across the base of 
the scutellum; it differs by the absence of the 
median postsutural yellow vitta. The wings 
are also distinctive in that they lack a cubital 
streak. 
Length: Body, 7.0-7. 5 mm.; wings, 5.5- 
6.0 mm. 
TYPE LOCALITY: Selangor. Hering’s allotype 
male is from Djampangs, Tjiajunan, 
Type in the Selangor Museum, 
We have not seen this species. One spec- 
imen on hand labeled "Los Banos, Laguna, 
P. L, July 7, 1930, F. C. Hadden” is very 
close to pendleburyi but has a broad, black 
longitudinal stripe over the scutellum and 
yellow to rufous femora. 
Dacus (Zeugodacus) pubescens 
(Bezzi), n. comb. 
Fig. 28 
Chaetodacus pubescens Bezzi, 1919, Philippine 
Jour. Sci. 15(5): 434, pi. 2, fig. 2. 
Chaetodacus scutellatus Bezzi, 1916, Bui. Ent. 
Res. 7: 114 (nec Hendel, 1912, Suppl. Ent. 
1 : 20 ). 
This species is related to D. scutellinus (Bez- 
zi) and trimaculatus n. sp. by having a black 
spot at the apex of the scutellum. It is dis- 
tinguished by the dilated costal band which 
forms an apical wing spot; by having three 
pairs of inferior fronto-orbital bristles, not 
two; also by having the humeri bordered by 
rufous, not black. 
Head: Face with two rather small, round 
spots and with brownish spots at the bases 
of the frontal bristles. Thorax: The mesono- 
tum has three broad yellow stripes behind the 
suture and two submedian stripes before the
