Material examined. – BHUTAN: a large number of specimens collected in areas of Bhutan below 1500 m altitude in both cultivated and subtropical habitats. All specimens attracted to methyl eugenol. Specimens in NPPC and QDPI.
Diagnosis. – Face fulvous with a pair of medium sized circular black spots; scutum with base colour black, postpronotal lobes and notopleura yellow, mesopleural stripe reaching midway between anterior margin of notopleuron and anterior npl. seta dorsally, a pair of broad parallel sided lateral postsutural vittae ending just behind ia. seta, medial postsutural vitta absent; setae: sc. 2; prsc. 2; ia. 1; p.sa. 1; a.sa. 1; mpl. 1; npl. 2; scp. 4; scutellum yellow with a narrow black basal band; legs with segments mostly fulvous except fore tibiae pale fuscous and hind tibiae fuscous; wings with cells bc and c colourless, microtrichia in outer corner of cell c only, narrow fuscous costal band confluent with R 2+3 and remaining narrow around costal margin to end just beyond apex of R 4+5, a narrow pale fuscous cubital streak, supernumerary lobe weak; abdominal terga III-V fulvous with a black ‘T’ pattern consisting of a narrow transverse black band across anterior margin of tergum III and a narrow medial longitudinal black band over all three terga, narrow dark fuscous to black anterolateral corners on terga IV and V (in some specimens the lateral margins of tergum III tend to have medium width lateral dark fuscous to black bands, a pair of oval fulvous shining spots on tergum V (see Drew & Hancock, 1994 for a complete description).
Attractant. – Methyl eugenol.
Distribution. – Widespread from the Indian subcontinent, across southeast Asia and the northern Pacific (see Drew & Hancock, 1994).
Hosts. – A very wide range of wild and commercial fruits (see Allwood et al., 1999).
Remarks. – This species has been adequately described and illustrated by Drew & Hancock (1994). It is recognized as a species of major economic significance within the dorsalis complex. The dorsalis complex comprises species with a black scutum, lateral postsutural vittae present, medial postsutural vitta absent, wings colourless except for narrow costal band, abdominal terga III-V pale with a black ‘T’ pattern.
