Abstract
The Bactrocera Macquart subgenus 'Austrodacus' Perkins is reviewed and 5 species recorded from Australia and New Guinea are included: 'B. abdoaurantiaca' Drew, B. alampeta Drew, 'B. atrisetosa' (Perkins), B. cucumis (French) and 'B. papuaensis' (Malloch), comb. n. (= 'unichromata' Drew, syn. n.). Subgenus 'Hemiparatridacus' Drew is placed as a new synonym of subgenus 'Austrodacus and its sole species, 'B. abdoaurantiaca', is transferred, while 'B. alampeta', 'B. atrisetosa' and 'B. papuaensis' are transferred to 'Austrodacus' from subgenus 'Paratridacus' Shiraki. A fourth Papua New Guinean species previously included in 'Paratridacus, B. mesonotaitha' Drew, is transferred to subgenus 'Zeugodacus' Hendel as a close ally of 'B. (Z.) sandaricina' Drew.
