6F58879CFFB97355D4CAFC98FF1FFB22.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Abdominal tergites not fused; abdomen generally oval, rarely petiolate; scutellum triangular. Male genitalia with well developed acrophallus, praeputium patterned or unpatterned. Similar to Dacus Fabricius in general appearance but easily separated from the latter by the presence of free abdominal tergites. Subgenera Sinodacus Zia, Semicallantra Drew and Tetradacus Miyake of Bactrocera possess elongate-oval abdomens as in Dacus but can be differentiated by non fusion of abdominal tergites. Twelve subgenera are so far recorded from India.	en	David, K. J., Hancock, D. L., Singh, Shakti Kumar, Ramani, S., Behere, G. T., Salini, S.

6F58879CFFBB7351D4CAF95FFF38FD37.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species name is an adjective based on the forked appearance of the aculeus tip (forked = furcata).	en	David, K. J., Hancock, D.

6F58879CFFBB7351D4CAF95FFF38FD37.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Bactrocera furcata is similar to B. caryeae in having a predominantly black scutum, a similarly patterned abdomen, narrow costal band confluent with vein R 2 + 3 and extensive femoral markings, but can be differentiated by the forked aculeus tip, spicules of eversible membrane and larger size (B. caryeae measures less than 6 mm). Bactrocera holtmanni (Hardy), which is also a member of the B. dorsalis complex, also possesses a bifid aculues but can be differentiated by the costal band overlapping vein R 2 + 3. Because of the extensively dark femora and face, B. furcata keys to couplet 7 in the nigrotibialis complex in the key of Drew and Romig (2016), differing from both B. nigrotibialis (Perkins) and B. bellisi Drew & Romig in the shape of the postsutural vittae and costal band, paler abdomen, fulvous basal third of the fore and mid femora and, at least from B. nigrotibialis, in the bifid aculeus. Males (and lure records) are needed in order to establish the proper assignment of this species to a complex.	en	David, K. J., Hancock, D. L., Singh, Shakti Kumar, Ramani, S., Behere, G.

Male genitalia: Epandrium slightly shorter than lateral surstylus, well sclerotised, as high as long, triangular shaped, hyaline setose proctiger, posterior lobe of surstylus 10 ¯ 12 times longer than anterior lobe; medial surstylus as long as lateral surstylus. Epandrium distinctly sphaeropedunculate in outline (posterior view). Aedeagus 3.0 mm long, excluding glans (0.43 mm); glans sclerotised with well developed acrophallus and patterned praeputium (triangular); trumpet-shaped subapical lobe and short basal lobe present.	en	David, K.

6F58879CFFB37358D4CAFCE4FDEFFF4C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Bactrocera brevipunctata is very similar to B. hochii in general scutal, abdominal and wing pattern but can be differentiated by the reduced presutural spots, larger fuscous apical spot on the wing (reaching apices of vein R 2 + 3 and dm-cu crossvein basally) and extensive fuscous areas of all femora. It keys to couplet 6 in subgenus Sinodacus in the key of Drew and Romig (2016), differing from both B. infesta (Enderlein) and B. hochii (Zia) in the broader apical spot on the wing.	en	David, K.

6F58879CFFB3735FD4CAFE45FB9DFD5F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Posterior lobe of susrtylus long, abdominal sternite V of male slightly concave on posterior margin, pecten present on abdominal tergite III of male, postpronotal lobe with seta absent, postsutural supra-alar seta present, prescutellar acrostichal seta absent, one pair of scutellar setae present, medial postsutural vittta present. This subgenus is recorded for the first time from India and a new species is described.	en	David, K. J., Hancock, D. L., Singh, Shakti Kumar, Ramani, S., Behere, G. T., Salini, S.
