Notes for Identification of Bactrocera nigrofemoralis WHITE et TSURUTA (Diptera: Tephritidae)

摘要

Several individuals of an undescribed species, which had been intercepted on hand-carried mangos from Sri Lanka in plant quarantine inspection at Narita Airport, Chiba pref., Central Japan, in 1998, were identified as Bactrocera (Bactrocera) nigrofemoralis WHITE et TSURUTA. Though this interception records seem to be rare incidence, notes for identification are prepared for the future interception, which might be useful for separating two other Asian similar species, B. nigrotibialis (PERKINS) and B.lata (PERKINS).
