Five species of Bactrocera are reported to occur in Bangladesh for the first time. The species previously recorded as B. nigrofemoralis is actually B. nigrifacia. An illustrated key to the nineteen species known to occur in the country, plus B. nigrofemoralis, is provided. The dacine fruit fly fauna of the Indian subcontinent has received attention by taxonomists in recent years (Drew and Raghu 2002, Drew et al. 2007, David and Ramani 2011, Drew and Romig 2013), with 84 species recorded from the region (excluding Sri Lanka): 58 species in India, 44 in Bhutan, 8 in Nepal, and 11 in Paki-stan. The first annotated checklist of 15 species known to occur in Bangladesh was recently published (Leblanc et al. 2013), based on surveys initiated in early 2013 and reviewing known literature.    Field surveys have continued into 2014, and several additional species have been collected. Two traps, each baited with a male lure (cue-lure and methyl eugenol) (described in Leblanc et al. 2013), have been maintained at each of 47 locations (Fig. 1), between May 2013 and November 2014, to collect male fruit flies. Several species, not attracted to male lures, were also collected by hand with a net or a vial. All but two locations were in agricultural environments. Even the two sites in for-ested national parks were in proximity to agriculture. All but a few localities were surveyed once, with traps maintained for 1–3 days. The Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE), Savar Upazila, near Dhaka, on the other hand, was regu-larly surveyed. A total of 57 collections yielded 5,706 specimens, representing 18 species (Table 1). Of the species known to occur in the country, all but Dacus ciliatus Loew were collected. Four new country records, reported here, have been uncovered since the first published survey, and one erroneous re-cord in our previous paper is rectified here. We include a key for all 19 species plus the erroneously recorded species, likely to actually occur in Bangladesh. Bactrocera (Bactrocera) correcta (Bezzi) [1 specimen from the Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE), in Savar Upazila, near Dhaka, 6 speci-mens from Chittagong Medical College Hospital Campus in Chittagong District, and 1 specimen from Chakaria Upazila in Cox’sbazar District].

Bactrocera (Bactrocera) tubercu-lata (Bezzi) [13 specimen from AERE, 1 specimen from South Surma Upazila, in Sylhet District, and 1 specimen in Lawa-chora National Park (LNP), in Komolgonj Upazila, Moulavibazar District]. New country record for Bangladesh. This oli-gophagous fruit pest ranges from Bhutan to southern Vietnam. Bactrocera (Sinodacus) bogorensis (Hardy) [4 specimens from Kurigram Sadar Upazila in Kurigram District, 3 specimens from Lalmonirhat Sadar Upazila in Lalmonirhat District, and 1 specimen from Polasbari Upazila in Gaibandha District]. New country record and northwest expansion of a species previously restricted to Indonesia (Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi) (Drew and Romig 2013).   Bactrocera (Bactrocera) nigrifacia Zhang, Ji & Chen. This species was er-roneously reported as B. nigrofemoralis White and Tsuruta (Leblanc et al. 2013), although the latter species is likely pres-ent in Bangladesh, since it is known from Sri Lanka, southern India, Pakistan and Bhutan. The range of B. nigrifacia, known from northern Thailand and adjacent Yun-nan Province (China) (Drew and Romig 2013), is now extended to Bangladesh. Both species are therefore included in the identification key.  Bactrocera (Bactrocera) sp [3 speci-mens in Citrus Research Center, Jaintapur Upazila in Sylhet District, and 1 specimen in LNP]. This species is similar to B. bhu-taniae (Drew and Romig), which ranges from Bhutan to Vietnam. However we col-lected these flies in methyl eugenol traps, whereas B. bhutaniae is attracted to cue-lure (Drew and Romig 2013). Additional samples will be required to ascertain the identity of this species.
