Bactrocera (Bactrocera) musae : Drew, 1989: 92–93 . See Drew (1989) for complete list of synonyms. Diagnosis. – A medium sized species (wing length 6.0 mm); face with a pair of medium sized spots; scutum black; postpronotal lobe and notopleuron yellow; each lateral postsutural vitta medium width and narrowing slightly to end at ia . seta; mesopleural stripe reaching midway between anterior margin of notopleuron and postpronotal lobe dorsally; wings with cells bc and c colourless, microtrichia in outer corner of cell c only, fuscous costal band overlapping R 2+3 and generally of uniform colouration (may be diffuse colouration under basal 2 / 3 of R 2+3 ), narrow fuscous cubital streak; legs with segments fulvous except hind tibiae dark fuscous; abdominal terga III–V generally orange-brown with narrow anterolateral dark markings on tergum III but may have a range of colours between a narrow black ‘T’ and a narrow medial longitudinal vitta over terga IV and V, shining spots orange-brown. Attractant. – Methyl eugenol. Hosts. – Musa species (major hosts) (family Musaceae ). Also recorded occasionally from fruits of eight other plant families ( Hancock et al., 2000 ). Distribution. – Type locality: Australia (Meringa, North Queensland ).
