- Abstract
The tribe Dacini comprising four genera, namely Bactrocera Macquart, Dacus Fabricius, Monacrostichus Bezzi and Zeugodacus Hendel, is a derived lineage in Tephritidae. It is one of the most economically important tribes in Tephritidae harbouring several species of quarantine concern across the world. We describe two new species of Bactrocera Macquart, B. (Parazeugodacus) conica David Ramani, sp. n. B. (B.) prabhui David, sp. n. from India. Postabdominal structures of males and/or females of 23 species of Bactrocera, 16 species of Zeugodacus and 8 species of Dacus from India are illustrated and described for the first time, which revealed similarities between Dacus and Zeugodacus with respect to epandrial shape and praeputium patterning. Bactrocera is unique in possessing oval shaped epandrium and an unpatterned praeputium. An analysis of phylogenetic relationships between three genera of the tribe Dacini from India based on morphological characters has been attempted for the first time. Cladistic analysis employing 51 characters of 62 species in Dacini, with seven species as outgroups revealed the monophyly of Dacini, Bactrocera and Dacus with supporting nonhomplasious synapomorphies. Ichneumonopsis Hardy, often included in the Gastrozonini, does not possess any synapomorphies of Dacini, eventhough it appeared at the base of the Dacini clade. Zeugodacus was retrieved as a monophyletic sister-group to Dacus based solely on a single homoplasious host plant character, with weak statistcal support.

Elaphromyia yunnanensis Wang Elaphromyia yunnanensis Wang, 1990: 489. Type locality Lushui, Yunnan, China. Material examined: 1♂, INDIA: Arunachal Pradesh, Roing, Kebali, 10.ix.2014, Ramani, S. (UASB). Diagnosis (Figs 35, 36): Medium-sized (5.91 mm) fly; head as high as long, frons fulvous with three pairs of frontal setae (all black) and two pairs of orbital setae (posterior pair black), ocellar setae well developed, medial and lateral vertical setae, postocellar setae white, lanceolate; postocular setae black interspersed with white lanceolate setae. Face fulvous without any markings; scape, pedicel fulvous, first flagellomere shorter than face, arista short plumose. Scutum dark brown to black with golden yellow setulae except postpronotal lobe, notopleuron and beneath postsutural supra-alar seta. Anepisternum fuscous to dark brown with a single seta, anepimeron concolorous with anepisternum and with a single seta, katepisternum black with a fulvous anterior border and a single seta, anatergite and katatergite partly yellow and black. Chaetotaxy complete; 1 on postpronotal lobe, 1 presutural supra-alar, 1 anterior notopleural, 1 posterior notopleural, 1 postsutural supra-alar, 1 dorsocentral placed in line with postsutural supra-alar, 1 postalar, 1 intra-alar, 1 prescutellar acrostichal seta. Scutellum brown with two pairs of scutellar setae. All leg segments fulvous except hind femur with basal and medial black spots; forefemur with a single row of 6–7 ventral setae. Wing elongate (6.33 mm), parallel-sided and predominantly dark brown with numerous hyaline and subhyaline markings, costal and anal margins predominantly hyaline with faint brown markings, cells r 1 and r 2+3 with very small, closely packed hyaline spots, subhyaline markings appear to be transversely arranged, cell m with 4 prominent hyaline bands from the margin. Abdomen elongate-oval, all tergites dark brown to black with faint yellow markings laterally. Male genitalia (Figs 37–39): Epandrium broad, with no demarcation between lateral surstylus and epandrium, proctiger smaller than epandrium, apex of lateral surstylus pointed with numerous setae; epandrium and lateral surstyli round (posterior view) with apical extension of surstylus prominent; phallus elongate (4.54 mm) with a sclerotised rod like structure in glans of phallus, vesica as long as phallus. Distribution: China (Yunnan); India (Arunachal Pradesh: new record). Remarks: The specimen collected from India is comparatively larger than the type male and has transverse subhyaline markings on the wing and four elongate spots in cell dm, unlike Wang’s (1998) illustration, which depicts round, well separated spots and six prominent spots in cell m. Since only a single specimen is available and considering its overall appearance and dark abdomen, we provisionally regard the Indian specimen as a variant of Elaphromyia yunnanensis; however, further material might show it to be specifically distinct., Published as part of David, K.

Head (Fig. 2): higher than long; frons fulvous with three pairs of frontal setae and two pairs of orbital setae; ocellar triangle dark fuscous with well-developed ocellar setae; medial vertical seta black; lateral vertical seta, paravertical seta and postocellar seta lanceolate and white; postocular setae black interspersed with white lanceolate setae. Face fulvous without any markings. Scape and pedicel fulvous, first flagellomere concolorous with frons, arista bare. Gena narrow with prominent genal seta, subvibrissal setae present. Thorax (Figs 3, 5): Scutum uniformly dark brown with three faint longitudinal lines. Chaetotaxy well developed: 1 postpronotal, 1 presutural supra-alar, 1 anterior notopleural, 1 posterior notopleural, 1 postsutural supra-alar, 1 dorsocentral placed in line with postsutural supra-alar, 1 postalar, 1 intra-alar, 1 prescutellar acrostichal seta. Scutellum brown with two pairs of scutellar setae. Anepisternum fulvous with two setae near phragma; anepimeron fulvous with two setae, katepisternum with a single seta; anatergite dark brown; katatergite and meron fulvous. Legs entirely fulvous without any black/dark markings; forefemur with a single row of 4–5 ventral setae and two rows of 6–7 stout dorsal setae. Wing (Fig. 6) elongate, parallel-sided (length, 3.79 mm in male; 4.02 mm in female), predominantly dark brown with a series of circular or elongate spots connected to each other or nearly connected and hyaline marginal spots. Cell sc with two marginal spots; cell r 1 with 4–5 hyaline spots along costal margin; cell r 2+3 with single hyaline spot near apex of vein R 2+3, cell m with three marginal hyaline spots; posterior subhyaline band extends from anal cell to vein Cu 1. Abdomen (Fig. 4): Fully fulvous without any dark markings on tergites in male but with a pair of faint black spots on tergite VI in female. Male genitalia: Epandrium broad with no demarcation between surstylus and epandrium (Fig. 7); apex of lateral surstylus not blunt (in lateral view), with well-developed dorsal lobe; proctiger short, much smaller than epandrium; medial surstylus shorter than lateral surstylus and with well-developed prensisetae (Fig. 8). Phallus elongate (1.57 mm); glans of phallus sclerotised with acrophallus patterned and broadly bifid apically (Fig. 9). Female genitalia: Oviscape orange-yellow, conical (1.18 mm) (Fig. 10); eversible membrane (0.87 mm) with elongate taeniae (three-quarters length of eversible membrane); spicules on distal end elongate-oval with blunt apex (Figs 11, 12); aculeus (0.78 mm) curved, flattened in sagittal plane in apical half, pointed with reduced preapical setae (Fig. 13); spermathecae (Fig. 14) dark brown to black, elongate-oval and covered with numerous projections. Type material: Holotype, 1♀, INDIA: Karnataka, Chikkamagaluru, Tarikere, Kemmangundi, K. R. hill station, 04.ii.2021, Ramya, R.S.; Paratype: 1♂, Karnataka, Chikkamagaluru, Tarikere, Kemmangundi, K. R. hill station, 04.ii.2021, Sachin, K. (NBAIR). Etymology: The specific epithet is an adjective derived from the Latin word junctus (=connected), denoting the connected hyaline spots in the wing. Distribution: Known only from western Karnataka in southern India. Remarks: This species was collected by sweep-netting over flowers of Wedelia sp. (Asteraceae) but that is unlikely to be its host plant. It is similar to E. pterocallaeformis by having the subhyaline spots arranged in distinct, subparallel transverse rows but can be differentiated by the presence of a fully fulvous abdomen without black spots in males and with only a single pair of spots (on tergite VI) in females, lateral surstylus without acutely pointed apex and an eversible membrane with elongate-oval spicules with blunt apices, whereas E. pterocallaeformis has two pairs of abdominal spots in both sexes, an acutely pointed lateral surstylus and an eversible membrane with apically pointed spicules. Elaphromyia juncta is similar to E. siva in having a fully yellow abdomen in males and only one pair of spots in females, but E. siva can be easily separated by the rounder, well separated subhyaline spots on the wing and semicircular-shaped spicules on the eversible membrane., Published as part of David, K.

(NBAIR). 1♂, INDIA: Karnataka, West Chikkaballapur, 03.viii.1976, C.A., Viraktamath. (UASB). Diagnosis (Figs 15, 16): Small species (male- 2.45 mm; female- 3.02 mm). Head higher than long; frons with three pairs of frontal setae (posterior frontal seta white) and two pairs of orbital setae (posterior orbital seta white); ocellar triangle dark fuscous with well-developed ocellar setae; medial vertical seta black; lateral vertical seta, paravertical seta and postocellar seta stubby white; postocular setae black interspersed with white stubby setae. Face fulvous with deep concavity. Scape and pedicel fulvous, first flagellomere concolorous with frons, arista short pilose. Gena narrow, with genal seta. Scutum uniformly dark brown with three faint longitudinal lines, chaetotaxy well developed: 1 on postpronotal lobe, 1 presutural supra-alar, 1 anterior notopleural, 1 posterior notopleural, 1 postsutural supra-alar, 1 dorsocentral placed in line with postsutural supra-alar, 1 postalar, 1 intra-alar, 1 prescutellar acrostichal seta. Scutellum brown with two pairs of scutellar setae. Anepisternum fulvous with two or three setae near phragma; anepimeron fulvous with two setae, katepisternum with a single seta; anatergite dark brown; katatergite and meron fulvous. All segments of leg fulvous without any black/dark markings; forefemur with a single row of 4–5 ventral setae. Wing (2.74 mm in male; 3.04 mm in female) shorter than in E. juncta, parallel-sided, predominantly dark brown with a series of rounded/circular subhyaline markings not arranged in distinct subparallel transverse rows and hyaline marginal spots. Cell sc with a single marginal spot; cell r 1 with 3–4 hyaline spots along the costal margin; cell r 2+3 with a single hyaline spot near the apex of vein R 2+3, cell m with three marginal hyaline spots; posterior subhyaline band extends from anal cell to vein Cu 1. Abdomen fully fulvous without any markings on tergites in male; but with a pair of faint black spots on tergite VI in female. Male genitalia: Epandrium broad with no demarcation between surstylus and epandrium (Fig. 17); apex of lateral surstylus blunt (in profile view); proctiger short, much smaller than epandrium; medial surstylus shorter than lateral surstylus and with well-developed prensisetae (Fig. 18). Phallus (1.00 mm) relatively shorter than in E. juncta; glans of phallus sclerotised with acrophallus patterned and broadly bifid apically (Fig. 19). Female genitalia: Oviscape orange-yellow (Fig. 20), conical (0.79 mm); eversible membrane (0.66 mm) with elongate taeniae (three-quarters length of eversible membrane); spicules on distal end semicircular (Figs 21, 22); aculeus (0.56 mm) curved, flattened in sagittal plane, pointed with reduced preapical setae (Fig. 23); spermathecae dark brown to black, elongate-oval with a prominent neck and covered with numerous projections (Fig. 24). Distribution: Sri Lanka (Type locality) and southern India (new record). Remarks: This species is much smaller than the other two species recorded from India (E. juncta and E. pterocalleformis) and is the smallest species known. Apart from the difference in size, it can be differentiated from the other two species by the presence of rounder subhyaline spots that are not aligned into subparallel transverse rows and the presence of a single spot in the subcostal cell. It can be differentiated further from E. pterocalleformis in lacking acutely pointed lateral surstylus and by the elongate-oval spicules on the distal end of the eversible membrane and abdominal markings. Described originally from Sri Lanka, this species is recorded for the first time from India, having been previously misidentified as E. pterocallaeformis by David & Ramani (2011: fig. 104). The identity of the Indian specimens has been confirmed by comparison with photographs of the Holotype female from Sri Lanka., Published as part of David, K. J., Hancock, D. L., Sachin, K., Ramya, R.

Bactrocera (Parazeugodacus) conica David and Ramani, sp. nov. Description: Medium sized (5.9 mm), black species. Frons fulvous with two frontal setae and single orbital seta, ocellar triangle black, ocellus fuscous, outer vertical seta and medial vertical seta present; occiput fuscous with a row of thin, black postocular setae; face fulvous with elongate, black spot in each antennal furrow, gena fulvous with subocular spot and seta. Scape, pedicel fuscous; first flagellomere dark fuscous; combined length of pedicel and first flagellomere as long as the vertical length of face (Fig. 1A). Scutum (2.07 mm long; 1.67 mm wide) predominantly black without lateral and medial postsutural vitta. Yellow markings as follows; postpronotal lobe, notopleuron, narrow anepisternal stripe (as broad as notopleuron, not continued as a small spot on katepisternum), 0.6 of katatergite and 0.9 of anatergite. Scutellum yellow with a broad, medial black patch and two pairs of scutellar setae; mediotergite and subscutellum black. Chaetotaxy; 2 scapular setae, 1 anterior notopleural seta, 1 notopleural seta, 1 anepisternal seta, 1 postsutural supra-alar seta, 1 post-alar seta, 1 intra-alar seta, 1 prescutellar acrostichal seta and 1 scutellar seta. Legs; coxa, trochanter black, all femora with apical ring like fuscous markings, tibia fuscous, tarsal segments fulvous (Fig. 1B,C). Wing (4.20 mm) predominantly hyaline without costal band, pterostigma dark brown, base of cell br hyaline without microtrichia, extension of cell bcu slightly longer than bcu, anal streak lacking (Fig. 1E). Abdomen (2.07 mm long; 2.09 mm wide) oval, wholly black (dark brown in Fig. 1D after processing in KOH) except two hyaline spots on tergite II (Fig. 1D). Female genitalia: Oviscape black (0.7 mm); spicules on distal end of eversible membrane (0.96 mm) conical (Fig. 1G), Acuelus (Fig. 1F) needle shaped (0.9 mm), length to width ratio, 5.3, aculeus tip acute without distinct preapical setae (Fig. 1G); black, convoluted, mulberry shaped spermathecae (Fig. 1I). Material examined: Holotype 1♀, INDIA, Karnataka, Chikmagalur, Mudigere, 03.vii.2012, David, K. J. (deposited at NBAIR) Etymology: The species is named for its conical-shaped spicules on distal end of eversible membrane. Remarks: Bactrocera conica is similar to B. bipustulata (Bezzi) in possessing hyaline wing without costal band, scutellum with a black medial patch; but it can be differentiated by the presence of separate black spots on the face (Fig. 1A), scutum without lateral postsutural vitta (Fig. 1B), katepisternum without yellow spot (Fig. 1C), femur not predominantly fuscous, abdomen fully black and conical shaped spicules on distal end of eversible membrane (Fig 1H). In contrast, B. bipustulata possess entirely black face (Fig. 1J), scutum with lateral postsutural vitta extending upto postsutural supra-alar seta (Fig. 1K), femur predominantly fuscous, katepisternum with yellow spot (Fig. 1L), abdomen not wholly black (Fig. 1M) and broad spicules with 3-5 projections (Fig. 1P) on distal end of eversible membrane. Since males were not available for the study, it is retained in the genus Bactrocera., Published as part of David, K.

Scape, pedicel fuscous; first flagellomere dark fuscous; combined length of pedicel and first flagellomere as long as the vertical length of face (Fig. 2A). Scutum (2.5̄ 2.9 mm long; 1.9̄ 2.2 mm wide) black with narrow, yellow lateral postsutural vitta tapering to end before intra-alar seta. Yellow markings as follows; postpronotal lobe, notopleuron, anepisternal stripe (as broad as notopleuron, continued as a small spot on katepisternum), 0.6 of katatergite and 0.9 of anatergite. Scutellum yellow with narrow, black basal band and a pair of scutellar setae, mediotergite and subscutellum black. Chaetotaxy; 2 scapular setae, 1 anterior notopleural seta, 1 notopleural seta; 1 anepisternal seta, 1 post-alar seta, 1 intra-alar seta, 1 prescutellar acrostichal seta, 1 scutellar seta. Legs; coxa, trochanter black, all femora with fuscous markings (0.9 of fore femur 0.25 of midfemur and hindfemur), tibia fuscous, tarsal segments fulvous (Fig. 2B,C). Wing (5.2̄ 5.9 mm) predominantly hyaline with narrow costal band from cell sc to wing apex slightly overlapping vein R 2+3, expanded slightly beyond vein R 2+3, base of cell br fully covered with microtrichia, extension of cell bcu longer than bcu and well developed anal streak (Fig. 2E). Abdomen (2.6̄ 2.8 mm long; 2.9 mm wide), oval, predominantly black except fulvous band on tergites I ⅈ broad, medial longitudinal, black band from tergites IIĪV present; lateral regions of tergites IIĪV predominantly black (Fig. 2D). Female genitalia: Oviscape black (1.39 mm); spicules on distal end of eversible membrane (2 mm) conical with three to four pointed projections (Fig. 2J). Aculeus (Fig. 2F) elongate (1.24 mm) with length to width ratio, 6.2; aculeus tip mucronate with two pairs of weakly developed preapical setae (Fig. 2G, H); two black, convoluted, mulberry shaped spermathecae (Fig. 2I). Material examined: Holotype ♀, INDIA, Karnataka, Kodagu, Somwarpet, 24-26.vi.2017, Prabhu, G. (NBAIR). Paratype 1♀, same data as of Holotype (NBAIR), Paratype 1♀, same data as of Holotype (UASB). Etymology: The species name is after its collector, Prabhu, G. Remarks: Bactrocera prabhui is similar to B. caryeae and B. furcata in having a predominantly black scutum with narrow lateral postsutural vitta, predominantly black abdomen, elongate-oval black facial spots and markings on all femora; but can be clearly differentiated from the former by the femoral markings (Fig. 2C) (extensive markings covering entire femur), costal band overlapping vein R 2+3 (Fig. 2E), mucronate aculeus tip (acute in B. caryeae), two pairs of weakly developed preapial setae in aculeus (Fig. 2H) (four pairs in B.caryeae), conical spicules of eversible membrane (Fig. 2J) (broad spicule with several projections of equal size in B.caryeae) and dense aggregation of microtrichia in the base of cell br and along vein Cu 2. B. prabhui can be distinguished from B. furcata by mucronate aculeus tip (bifid in B. furcata), conical spiclues of eversible membrane with 3-4 projections (single cone like projections in B. furcata) and costal band overlapping vein R 2+3. It is similar to B. fastigata by lacking postsutural supra-alar seta, but differs with respect to narrow anepisternal stripe (broad stripe in B. fastigata reaching anterior notopleural seta), parallel sided narrow postsutural vitta of uniform width (lateral vitta tapering posteriorly in B. prabhui), costal band overlapping vein R 2+3, broad anal streak, densely microtrichose base of cell br, extensive fuscous markings on femora and extensive black markings on all tergites.

Genus Bactrocera Macquart Bactrocera Macquart, 1835; 452. Type species Bactrocera longicornis Macquart, 1835, by monotypy. Diagnosis. Abdominal tergites free; abdomen generally oval, rarely petiolate; scutellum triangular. Epandrium round to oval (posterior view), posterior lobe of surstylus as long as or shorter than anterior lobe; upper rim of lateral surstylus 0.5 of lower rim except B. rubigina and B. paraosbeckiae. Glans of phallus with well developed acrophallus and unpatterned praeputium (apomorphy) except subgenus Tetradacus, dorsal sclerite of glans with hexagonal scultpuring (visible clearly under 100x objective). Aculeus usually with four pairs of preapical setae, rarely two/not traceable in few species. Spicules on distal end of eversible membrane usually broad with several, small spine like projections, rarely with single or few conical projections., Published as part of David, K.

Genus Dacus Fabricius Dacus Fabricius, 1805: 272. (in Drew, 1989: 16). Type species: Dacus armatus Fabricius, 1805, by subsequent designation of Speiser, 1924: 140 and confirmed by Hendel (1927: 25). Diagnosis. Abdomen elongate-oval or petiolate, abdominal tergites fused. Scutum with or without lateral and medial postsutural vittae, chaetotaxy reduced compared to Bactrocera and Zeugodacus Hendel; scutellum short and broad. Posterior margin of sternite V of male with shallow to moderate concavity (emargination). Male genitalia with epandrium and surstyli distinctly bulb-shaped (posterior view); posterior lobe of surstylus 2��3 times longer than anterior lobe except in D. longicornis. Glans of phallus with single tubular acrophallus, praeputium fully patterned, predominantly hexagonal pattern except elongate pattern in D. persicus. Aculeus tip with three pairs of preapical setae. It is similar to Bactrocera and Zeugodacus in general appearance but can be easily separated by the presence of fused abdominal tergites. Subgenus Sinodacus Zia of genus Zeugodacus and subgenera Semicallantra Drew and Tetradacus Miyake of Bactrocera possess petiolate abdomen as in Dacus but can be differentiated by free abdominal tergites., Published as part of David, K.
