The book is a taxonomic treatise of the tropical fruit flies of
Papua New Guinea, Indonesian Papua, associated islands and
Bougainville, the region of the world where speciation in the
sub-family Dacinae has been most prolific. The book aims to provide
readers with an updated record of all known species of Dacinae that
occur in this geographic area including descriptions of 65 new
species out of an entire list of 296 known species covered. It
provides a discussion on the evolutionary origins of the Dacinae
and a key to the genera and sub-genera recorded in the
Australian-Pacific Region. Further, the major pest species and
their biosecurity risks to other countries are discussed. Extensive
field research by the authors and colleagues over many years has
resulted in the accumulation of advanced knowledge of the tropical
fruit flies in this region. - Records 296 known species -
