Trypeta immaculata is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Trypeta of the family Tephritidae. [1] [2] [3]
This species is widespread in most of Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and The Netherlands). [4]
Trypeta immaculata have wings of about 4.6–5.5 mm (0.18–0.22 in). [5] These fruit flies have the hind femurs without any strong anteroventral subapical setae. The first flagellomere is apically rounded. Head shows two pairs of orbital setae.
Male without greatly enlarged frontal setae, and frons never extended forwards. [6]
Adults can be found from mid. June to mid. August. [7] Larvae are present in July and September–October. [8]
These fruit flies are almost oligophagous of Asteraceae plants. Main host plants are Aposeris foetida , Crepis paludosa , Hieracium species, Hypochaeris species, Lactuca muralis , Lapsana communis , Leontodon hispidus , Picris hieracioides , Pilosella officinarum , Prenanthes species, Scorzoneroides autumnalis , Senecio vulgaris , Sonchus arvensis , Taraxacum officinale . [8] In the host plants larvae form leaf mines,
The Tephritidae are one of two fly families referred to as fruit flies, the other family being the Drosophilidae. The family Tephritidae does not include the biological model organisms of the genus Drosophila, which is often called the "common fruit fly". Nearly 5,000 described species of tephritid fruit fly are categorized in almost 500 genera of the Tephritidae. Description, recategorization, and genetic analyses are constantly changing the taxonomy of this family. To distinguish them from the Drosophilidae, the Tephritidae are sometimes called peacock flies, in reference to their elaborate and colorful markings. The name comes from the Greek τεφρος, tephros, meaning "ash grey". They are found in all the biogeographic realms.
Bactrocera dorsalis, previously known as Dacus dorsalis and commonly referred to as the oriental fruit fly, is a species of tephritid fruit fly that is endemic to Southeast Asia. It is one of the major pest species in the genus Bactrocera with a broad host range of cultivated and wild fruits. Male B. dorsalis respond strongly to methyl eugenol, which is used to monitor and estimate populations, as well as to annihilate males as a form of pest control. They are also important pollinators and visitors of wild orchids, Bulbophyllum cheiri and Bulbophyllum vinaceum in Southeast Asia, which lure the flies using methyl eugenol.
Tephritis formosa is a species of tephritid fly. It is one of many species known commonly as gall fly.

Bactrocera (Bactrocera) invadens is the name given to tephritid fruit flies that were introduced to East Africa from Sri Lanka and subsequently invaded practically the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa, hence the species name "invadens". It was first shown to be the same biological species as B. dorsalis s.s. by possessing identical sex pheromonal components after consumption of methyl eugenol, and also based on CO1 and rDNA sequences. Subsequently, it was agreed that B. invadens, B. papayae and B. philippinensis be synonymized as B. dorsalis. To counteract its detrimental effects to the fruit business, the industry resorts to cold treatment in order to get rid of the larvae.
