- Bactrocera (Bactrocera) correcta (Bezzi) Chaetodacus correctus Bezzi, 1916: 107. Syntypes in ZSI. Strumeta paratuberculatus Philip, 1950: 31. Dacus dutti Kapoor, 1971: 480. Dacus bangaloriensis Agarwal & Kapoor, 1983: 169. Bactrocera (Bactrocera) correcta – Liang et al., 1993: 137; Norrbom et al., 1998: 89. Material examined. – BHUTAN: 1 male, Thimphu, Lumitshawa, 18 Oct.2000, coll. C. Dorji, attracted to methyl eugenol. Specimen in NPPC. Diagnosis. – Face fulvous with a pair of small transverse oval black spots; scutum with base colour mostly black, postpronotal lobes and notopleura yellow, mesopleural stripe reaching to anterior npl. seta dorsally, moderately broad parallel sided lateral postsutural vittae reaching to ia. seta, medial postsutural vitta absent; setae: sc. 2; prsc. 2; ia. 1; p.sa. 1; a.sa. 1; mpl. 1; npl. 2; scp. 2; scutellum yellow except for narrow black basal band; legs with all segments entirely fulvous except tending fuscous apically on hind tibiae; wings with cells bc and c colourless and entirely devoid of microtrichia, narrow costal band confluent with R2+3 and ending at apex of this vein, a small fuscous spot around apex of R 4+5, cubital streak absent, supernumerary lobe weak; abdominal terga III-V red-brown with a black ‘T’ pattern consisting of a narrow transverse black band across anterior margin of tergum III and a narrow medial longitudinal black band over all three terga and very narrow dark fuscous lateral margins on terga IV and V, a pair of oval red-brown shining spots on tergum V. Attractant. – Methyl eugenol. Distribution. – Widespread (Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Southern China). New record for Bhutan. Hosts. – Wide host range in wild and commercial fruits (see Allwood et al., 1999). Remarks. – Bactrocera correcta (Bezzi) is a significant pest species in some parts of its geographic distribution.
