New Caledonia (mainland, Maré, Lifou). Male lure. Weakly attracted to methyl eugenol. Dihydroeugenol may prove to be a more potent attractant when tested on the Loyalty Islands, where B. paraxanthodes is most common. That lure attracted one specimen on the mainland ( Royer et al. 2019a ), and many specimens of B. neoxanthodes in Vanuatu (new lure record) . Host plants. APOCYNACEAE : Vincetoxicum biglandulosum (dubious record?). ARALIACEAE : Meryta sp. , Plerandra gabriellae . Notes. This species is a non-pest member species of the Bactrocera xanthodes complex ( Drew et al. 1997 ). The Tylophora host record was doubted by Hancock and Drew (2017a) .
