Description
Bactrocera (Notodacus) paraxanthodes Drew and Hancock, 1995
Figure 61
Distribution (Fig. 121). New Caledonia (mainland, Maré, Lifou).
Male lure. Weakly attracted to methyl eugenol. Dihydroeugenol may prove to be a more potent attractant when tested on the Loyalty Islands, where B. paraxanthodes is most common. That lure attracted one specimen on the mainland (Royer et al. 2019a), and many specimens of B. neoxanthodes in Vanuatu (new lure record).
Host plants. APOCYNACEAE: Vincetoxicum biglandulosum (dubious record?). ARALIACEAE: Meryta sp., Plerandra gabriellae.
Notes. This species is a non-pest member species of the Bactrocera xanthodes complex (Drew et al. 1997). The Tylophora host record was doubted by Hancock and Drew (2017a).
