Bamboo-shoot fruit flies of Asia (Diptera : Tephritidae : Ceratitidinae)

The bamboo-shoot breeding Gastrozonini (Ceratitidinae) of Asia are reviewed , with 86 species recognized in 17 genera. One new genus and five new speci es are proposed: Cyrtostola gen. nov., Acroceratitis hardyi sp. nov., Acroc eratitis tenmalaica sp. nov., Chactellipsis kinabaluensis sp. nov., Chaetel lipsis maculosa sp. nov., Paragastrozona trivittata sp. nov. Twenty-four sp ecies are placed as new synonyms: Acroceratitis clavifera (Hering), A. cogn ata Hardy and ii. gladiella (Munro) [all of A. ceratitina (Bezzi)]; A. flav a Premlata and Awtar Singh [of A. separata (Bezzi)]; ii, maculata Premlata and Awtar Singh [of A. tomentosa Hardy]; A. similis Hardy [of A. siamensis (Munro)]; Acrotaeniostola helvenaca Ito [of A. sexvittata Hendel]; A. hoene i Hering [of A. scutellaris (Matsumura)] A. quadrifasciata (Enderlein) [of A. quinaria (Coquillett)]: Carpophthorella luteiseta (Bezzi) [of C. capilla ta (Bezzi)]; Chaetellipsis atrata Hardy and C. occipitalis (Zia) [both of C . paradoxa Bezzi]; Galbifascia quadripunctata Hardy [of G. sexpunctata Hard y]; Gastrozona solitaria Hering [of G. proterva Hering]; Phaeospilodes atri facies Hering, P. poeciloptera Kertesz and P. torquata Hering [all of P. fe nestella (Coquillett)]; P. fritilla Hardy [of Acroceratitis distincta (Zia) ]; Prospilocosmia octavia Munro, P. punctata Shiraki and P. p. kotoshoensis Shiraki [all of Spilocosmia bakeri Bezzi]; Taeniostola apicata Hering and T. connecta Hendel [both of T. vittigera Bezzi]; T. melli Hering [of Paraga strozona vulgaris (Zia)], Acrotaeniostola scutellaris (Matsumura) is accept ed as a distinct species and Carpophthorella magnifica Hendel is removed fr om synonymy. Fifteen other species are placed in new combinations: Acrotaen iostola moi osa (Hering), Chaetellipsis alternata (Zia), C, bivittata (Hard y), C. pretiosa (Hering), Crytostola limbata (Hendel), Dietheria gracilis ( Bezzi), Paragastrozona apicemaculata (Hering), P, fukienica (Hering), P. or bata (Hering), P. vulgaris (Zia), Paraxarnuta extorris (Hering), P. interru pta (Hardy), Phaeospila dissimilis (Zia), P. megaspilota (Hardy), Phaeospil odes paragoga (Hering). Lectotypes are designated for Acroceratitis striata (Froggatt) and Phaeospilodes bambusae Hering. Three further species and fo ur synonyms are noted in an appendix.
