Abstract

AbstractA 10‐year survey, using host fruit sampling and male lure trapping methods, has detected 18 species of Bactrocera Macquart and Dacus Fabricius in southern China. Of these, four (B. dorsalis (Hendel), B. minax (Enderlein), B. cucurbitae (Coquillett) and B. tau (Walker)) are of major economic importance. Notes are included on 17 further species not recorded during the survey. Dacus (Didacus) fuscans (Wang), new combination, is transferred from Sinodacus Zia, B. tuberculata (Bezzi) is newly recorded from China, and the first host or lure records are provided for B. rubigina (Wang), B. modicus (Hardy), B. hochii (Zia), B. isolata (Hardy), B. scutellaris (Bezzi), B. scutellata (Hendel), B. stenomus (Wang and Zhao) and D. trimacula (Wang).
