Abstract

Two new species of genus Bactrocera Macquart, namely Bactrocera (Bactrocera) ettinanhuja Abhishek and David, sp. nov. and Bactrocera (Bactrocera) kyrdemkulai Abhishek & David, sp. nov., are described from Western Ghats and Northeast India, respectively. Bactrocera (Bactrocera) wuzhishana Lin & Yang, is recorded for the first time from India. An updated key to Indian fruit flies of subgenus Bactrocera Macquart is also provided.
