Abstract
In the second part of the ongoing survey of fruit fly fauna of Andaman and Nicobar islands (June 1993 to January 1996), six species of dacines belongi ng to the genus Bactrocera Macquart are added. Of the two undescribed speci es recorded, one was reared from Momordica cochinchinensis (Lour) Spreng an d Trichosanthes tricuspidata Lour. (Cucurbitaceae) and the other was caught in methyl eugenol traps. Additional host records of Bactrocera (Bactrocera ) carambolae Drew & Hancock and Bactrocera (Bacrrocera) albistrigata (de Me ijere) are included in this paper.
