Figure 33 View Figure 33

Distribution. Papua New Guinea (mainland). Solomon Islands (Guadalcanal).

Bactrocera (Bactrocera) geminosimulata Leblanc and Doorenweerd, 2021

Figure 34 View Figure 34

Distribution. Solomon Islands (Guadalcanal).

Male lure. Cue-lure.

Host plants. No known hosts.

Notes. This species is nearly identical to B. simulata ( Fig. 79 View Figure 79 ) in appearance ( Leblanc et al. 2021). It is however genetically distinct and distinguished by a subtle but consistent difference in the extent of wing infuscation ( Leblanc et al. 2021).
