Comments. Bactrocera symplocos was originally described from Thailand by Drew & Romig (2013) and was adequately described by them except for the male and female genitalia. Dissection of a female paratype revealed an elongate oviscape (2 mm), apically curved aculeus (2.07 mm), sharply pointed aculeus tip with four preapical setae ( Fig. 29 ) and spicules (0.006 mm high, 0.009 mm wide) of eversible membrane (2.5 mm) with one to three sharp projections ( Fig. 28 ). Male with aedeagus 2.1 mm long excluding glans (0.35 mm); glans of phallus with an unpatterned acrophallus, praeputium and trumpet-shaped subapical lobe ( Fig. 30 ).
