On the fruit-flies of the genus Dacus (s. 1.) occurring in India, Burma, and Ceylon

Abstract

As stated in my previous paper on the Ethiopian species of Dacus, the Oriental forms of this genus show much more variation in their structural and ornamental features. They may be therefore divided into no less than five well defined genera, only one of which is common to both faunal areas. Reserving for later publication a third paper on the Oriental (and Australian) species, I will give here some notes on the classification and feeding habits of the species from British India.
