“…In our study, Ceratitis capitata was chosen as an outgroup because it belongs to the subfamily Dacinae, shown to be closely related to Bactrocera genus rather than Anastrepha spp. Previous research by Asokan et al (2011) also used C. capitata and A. ludens as outgroups to infer phylogenetic trees in Bactrocera spp.…”

This paper marks the first attempt at using the molecular clock analysis on five Malaysian Bactrocera species based on combined data of COI and ND1 to test the divergence times of species that infested 11 varieties of fruits and vegetables. A divergence tree was constructed to estimate the cryptic species among the five closely related Bactrocera species viz. B. (Bactrocera) and B. (Zeugodacus). Both subgenera evolved and diverged approximately 21.5933 million years ago (MYA). The particularly complex taxonomical status of the sister-species B. papayae and B. carambolae has been resolved using the divergence tree; the two separated from the others approximately 2.743 MYA, while B. papayae and B. carambolae distinctly diverged between 1.9619 and 2.2884 MYA. Additionally, Bactrocera dorsalis showed divergence at 4.1596 MYA and was distinctly separate from the B. papayae. Interestingly, the molecular clock results are congruent with the phylogenetic tree that was analysed using Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian Inference. Further, the taxonomical status and host utilisation of the five Bactrocera species were also briefly discussed, which indicated that B. cucurbitae (subgenus Zeugodacus) was infesting Cucurbitaceae and B. latifrons was infesting Solanaceaea, while B. dorsalis, B. carambolae and B. papaya were infesting a wide range of fruit species. Key message Divergence time of five Malaysian Bactroceran species is reported for the first time and found congruent with the results of phylogeny based on combined data of COI and ND1 markers using MP and Bayesian analyses. This finding could prove very crucial for resolving the most crucial taxonomic conflicts in Bactrocera classification, which is highly important initially in species identification for integrated pest management (IPM) programme.

“…The infestation of Bactrocera species consequently reduces production yields and the quality of the crops (Chua et al 2010). Therefore, accurate identification of Bactrocera species is highly important for the successful management of targeted pest and quarantine initiatives (Asokan et al 2011;Liu et al 2011).…”

“…The documented information indicates that very limited studies have been done to date on B. zonata population genetic structure and geographical variability based on partial mtCOI gene sequences, barring few studies that have focused on very vague aspects of genetic distance between populations of B. zonata with many other pairs of distinctly different Bactrocera species (Muraji and Nakahara, 2001;Nakahara and Muraji, 2008;Zhang et al, 2010;Asokan et al, 2011). A promising, but still preliminary study on RT-PCR of partial mtCOI gene sequence from B. zonata in Egypt by Abd-El-Samie and El Fiky (2011) established mitochondrial sequence data.…”

Fruit flies belonging to tribe Dacini are pertinent pests of horticultural crops in Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Australasian Oceanian region. They pose enormous threats to fruit and vegetable production throughout the world, causing both quantitative and qualitative losses. Ninety two species of dacine fruit flies (28 endemic, 30.43% endemism) belonging to three genera, viz. Bactrocera Macquart (51 species, 17 endemic, 33.33% endemism), Dacus Fabricius (10 species, 3 endemic, 30.0% endemism), and Zeugodacus Hendel (31 species, 8 endemic, 25.80% endemism), and 19 subgenera have been listed from India. Of these, nine endemic species, viz. Bactrocera (Bactrocera) andamanensis, B. (B.) blairiae, B. (B.) curtivitta, B. (B.) patula, B. (B.) ranganathi, B. (Calodacus) harrietensis, Dacus (Mellesis) insulosus, Zeugodacus (Zeugodacus) fuscoalatus, Z. (Z.) havelockiae are known only from Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The current understanding of the morphology of the tribe, together with data on their biology, habitat associations, and distribution combine presents a picture of the phylogenetic relationships within the group. Besides, the knowledge of biology and behaviour of dacine species suggests that there is a close relationship between the fly species and their host plants which involves adult's feeding, host recognition, courtship and mating, oviposition, larval feeding and bacteria associations. In the present paper notes on subgeneric classification of Dacini, their distribution, endemism, relative occurrence of different taxa, phylogeny, host associations, pest status, male lures and bacterial associations have been added.
