Abstract
The fruit fly genus Ceratitis (Diptera: Tephritidae) comprises several important pest species attacking a wide range of unrelated fruits. In this paper the subgenus Ceratitis (Pardalaspis) Bezzi is revised. Ten species are recognized of which five are described as new: C.(P.)hama ta sp.n., C.(P.)munroi sp.n., C.(P.)serrata sp.n., C.(P.)semipunctata sp.n. and C.(P.)zairensis sp.n..A key to both sexes is provided. All s pecies are restricted to the Afrotropical Region and distributional an d known host plant data are given.
