Tephritids are major insect pests of horticulture crops across the globe with high genetic diversity, taxonomic complexity, ethology, pest management and quarantine issues. There are nearly 5000 species described under 500 genera of Tephritidae with re-categorization occurring constantly with deeper taxonomic investigations.

Abstract


Tephritids are major insect pests of horticulture crops across the globe with high genetic diversity, taxonomic complexity, ethology, pest management and quarantine issues. There are nearly 5000 species described under 500 genera of Tephritidae with re-categorization occurring constantly with deeper taxonomic investigations.
