( Figs 17, 19 )

Dacus (Zeugodacus) adustus Wang & Zhao, 1989 a: 212 . Type-locality: Mt. Emei, Sichuan, China. Holotype male in IZCAS.

Bactrocera (Zeugodacus) adusta: Liang et al., 1993: 139 ; Wang, 1996; Norrbom et al.,2004.

Material examined. Holotype 3 ( IZCAS), China: Sichuan: Mt. Emei , 30. IV. 1957, K. R. Huang. 2 3 ( YNCIQ), China: Yunnan, Nujiang, Pianma 1695m, E98º58'00'', N26 º11'00'', May 2012, Wang Shaojun and Zhao Kanglin, attracted to Cue lure

Distribution. China (Sichuan, Yunnan).

Remark. This species is similar to B. (Z.) biguttata (Bezzi) , but can be differentiated from the latter by the following characters: 1) scutum with median postsutural yellow vitta distinctly present and situated near the suture, as shown in fig 17 ( biguttata has the median postsutural yellow vitta absent or situated far from the suture where it might be covered by the pin and is invisible, as shown in fig 18), 2) wing with a slightly smaller and isolated apical spot, as shown in fig 19 ( biguttata has the wing with a larger apical spot connected continuously with the narrow costal band, as shown in fig 20). We examined images of the type of B. (Z.) biguttata (Bezzi) kept in ZSI with the help of Dr. Dhriti Banerjee (Zoological Survey of India, National Zoological Collection, India), and figs 18 and 20 were taken by her. The type label data of B. (Z.) biguttata (Bezzi) are: India: W. Bengal: Darjeeling, 7000 ft., 25. V.1910.
