Bactrocera (Notodacus) xanthodes (Broun) (Fig. 29)

Distribution: American Samoa, Cook Islands (Southern group), Fiji Islands, French Polynesia (Austral Group), Nauru (eradicated in 1999), Niue, Samoa, Tonga, Wallis and Futuna. Male lure: Methyl eugenol.

ANACARDIACEAE Mangifera indica (P): Cook Islands (1); Nauru (1/117) (prior to eradication); Tonga (9/85).

ANNONACEAE Annona cherimola : Cook Islands (1). Annona muricata :

Samoa (6/7); Tonga (1/40).

APOCYNACEAE Cerbera manghas : Tonga (1/50). Ochrosia oppositifolia (P): Fiji (5/56); Tonga (10/90).

CALOPHYLLACEAE Calophyllum inophyllum : Cook Islands (1).

CARICACEAE Carica papaya (P): Cook Islands (4); Fiji (8/159); Samoa (74/86); Tonga (28/77). The Fiji records are likely based on

sampling overripe fruit. Waimanalo and Sunrise papaya are

not hosts to B. xanthodes in Fiji, until at least half ripe

( Heimoana et al. 1997).

CONVOLVULACEAE Stictocardia tiliifolia : Tonga (1/3).

CUCURBITACEAE Citrullus lanatus (P): Tonga (1/11). Watermelon can be infested by B. xanthodes when damaged at its blossom

end, but non–host status testing has shown undamaged fruit

not to be suitable hosts to B.xanthodes in Tonga ( Heimoana

et al. 1997).

EBENACEAE Diospyros vera : Tonga (1/37).

EUPHORBIACEAE Excoecaria agallocha (P): Tonga ( Litsinger et al. 1991).

MALVACEAE Theobroma cacao : Fiji (1/34).

MORACEAE Artocarpus altilis (P): American Samoa (1/1); Cook Islands (46); Fiji (31/123); Nauru (7/53) (prior to eradication); Samoa

(18/23); Tonga (14/34); Wallis & Futuna (4/6). Artocarpus

heterophyllus (P): Cook Islands (3); Fiji (4/39); Samoa (5/6).

PASSIFLORACEAE Passiflora edulis : Tonga (1/21). Passiflora ligularis : Tonga (12/55). Passiflora quadrangularis (P): Fiji ( Simmonds

1936); Tonga ( Litsinger et al. 1991); Samoa (1/1).
