Dacus (Zeugodacus) scutellatus – Hardy, 1977: 59 ; Tseng et al., 1992:74; Wang, 1996: 71 . Bactrocera (Zeugodacus) scutellata – Liang et al., 1993: 138 ; Norrbom et al., 1998: 103 . Material examined . – BHUTAN : 1 male ( 19 Jul.2000 ) , 1 male ( 16 Aug.2000 ), Rimchu trap No. 1, coll. C. Dorji; 2 males , Rimchu trap No. 1, 23 Jul.2000 , coll. C. Dorji et al. All specimens attracted to cue lure. Specimens in NPPC and QDPI . Diagnosis . – A large species; face fulvous with a pair of medium sized circular black spots; postpronotal lobes and notopleura yellow; scutum shining black; lateral and medial postsutural vittae present; mesopleural stripe reaching midway between anterior margin of notopleuron and anterior npl. seta; scutellum yellow with a black apical spot; wing with a narrow fuscous costal band confluent with R 2+3 and remaining narrow beyond apex of this vein before expanding across apex of R 4+5 , a broad fuscous cubital streak, pale fuscous along dm-cu crossvein; cells bc and c colourless; microtrichia in outer corner of cell c only; abdominal terga III-V each with a dark fuscous to black ‘T’ pattern. Attractant. – Cue lure. Distribution. – Distributed across subtropical southeast Asia. New record for Bhutan . Hosts. – Flowers of species in the Family Cucurbitaceae (see Allwood et al., 1999 ). Remarks . – Bactrocera (Zeugodacus) scutellata (Hendel) is a large species readily distinguished by the shining black scutum, lateral and medial postsutural vittae broader than in B. scutellaris (Bezzi) , face with circular black spots, scutellum yellow with a black apical spot, femora entirely fulvous, 4 sc . setae, wing with a strong supernumerary lobe and broad cubital streak, costal band confluent with R 2+3 and remaining narrow beyond apex of R 2+3 before widening gradually across apex of R 4+5 , abdominal terga III-V each with a separate general ‘T’ pattern. As for B. diversa (Coquillett) and B. scutellaris , B. scutellata attacks flowers of some Cucurbitaceae species so may have pest status but no quarantine significance for export trade.
