Queensland host records for the Dacinae (fam. Trypetidae)

Abstract

All species of the subfamily Dacinae (fam. Trypetidae) recorded in Queensland are indigenous, and although some of their native hosts are located in open forest or along watercourses, the majority are found in rain-forest. A comprehensive host list for the Dacinae occurring in Queensland has been compiled from data recorded following the collection of 350 species of cultivated, ornamental and wild fruits representing 75 botanical families. Records published by earlier authors and unpublished records from various sources are included.
