Bactrocera (Notodacus) neoxanthodes Drew and Romig, 2001

Figure 52

Distribution ( Fig. 121). Vanuatu (Torres Islands, Santo, Efate).

Male lure. Isoeugenol, dihydroeugenol (NEW LURE RECORDS). Isoeugenol is the most attractive of the two lures.

Host plants. LECYTHIDACEAE : Barringtonia edulis . PASSIFLORACEAE : Passiflora suberosa .

Notes. This species is a non-pest member species of the Bactrocera xanthodes complex ( Drew et al. 1997). Drew (1989) originally recorded it as B. xanthodes in Vanuatu. Based on its unusual host record, Waterhouse (1993) suspected it might be a separate species, later confirmed by Hoeben et al. (1996) and Drew et al. (1997), who initially included it under B. paraxanthodes ( Drew and Hancock 1995) , and later described it as B. neoxanthodes ( Drew and Romig 2001) .
