Abstract

Specimens of Dacini were collected in traps containing male attractants in north-east Australia and 26 islands of the South Pacific area. The resulting species-attractant records are given for 79 species, which fit into 2 groups on the basis of their response to attractants: (1) species attracted to the cue-lure type of attractant (cue-lure and Willison's lure); (2) species attracted to methyl eugenol. No species was attracted to both types of attractants. Species of the genus Callantra and of both the Strumeta and Dacus groups of subgenera of the genus Dacus were attracted to the cue-lure type of attractant. Only species of the Strumeta group of subgenera were attracted to methyl eugenol.
