Abstract

Four new species are described, viz. Strumeta amplexiseta, S. silvicola, Zeugodacus choristus and Z. trichotus.
The female of Callantra petioliforma May and the male of Strumeta hispidula May have now been taken and are described.
A subspecies of Neodacus strigifinis (Walker) is recognised and described from New Guinea.
Melanodacus rubidus May and Zeugodacus papuaensis Malloch are shown to be synonyms of Melanodacus atrisetosus (Perkins).
