“…The striped fruit fly, B. scutellata (Diptera: Tephritidae), infests the flower buds of pumpkin, squash, and other cucurbitaceae plants in Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan (Han, Choi, & Ro, ; Jeon et al, ; Y. P. Kim et al, ; Miyatake, Kuba, & Yukawa, ; Mun, Bohonak, & Roderick, ; Ovtshinnikova, ). In this study, we investigated the role of the antennae and maxillary palps of B. scutellata , in detecting plant volatile and known parapheromones for Bactrocera fruit flies.…”

Here, we report that the olfactory attraction of the striped fruit fly, Bactrocera scutellata (Hendel; Diptera: Tephritidae), a serious pest of pumpkin and other cucurbitaceae plants, to cue lure and raspberry ketone is mediated by the maxillary palps. The antennae, bearing three morphological types (basiconic, trichoid, and coeloconic) of olfactory sensilla, in male and female B. scutellata exhibited significant electroantennogram (EAG) responses to a plant volatile compound, 3-octanone, and methyl eugenol, whereas cue lure, raspberry ketone, and zingerone that are known to attract several other species of Bactrocera fruit flies elicited no significant EAG responses from both sexes. In contrast, maxillary palps, housing one morphological type of basiconic sensilla, displayed the largest electropalpogram (EPG) responses to cue lure followed by raspberry ketone among the five compounds tested in male and female B. scutellata, with only minor EPG responses to 3-octanone, which indicates that the maxillary palps are responsible for detecting cue lure and raspberry ketone in this species. In field trapping experiments, significant number of male B. scutellata were captured in the traps baited with cue lure or raspberry ketone, in which the attractiveness of cue lure was significantly higher than that of raspberry ketone. Methyl eugenol and zingerone were not behaviorally attractive to B. scutellata although they elicited significant EPG responses.Our study indicates that the behavioral attraction of B.Arch.

“…The striped fruit fly, Z. scutellata, occurs in Asian countries such as Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Bhutan, Thailand, India, and Malaysia [7]. Its outbreak can cause more than 70% damage to pumpkin flowers, thus posing serious threat to crop production [8]. Chinese cucumber (Trichosanthes kirilowii) is the main wild host of Z. scutellata.…”

Sterile insect release technique (SIT) is effective for eradicating quarantine insects including various tephritid fruit flies. When SIT is used for fruit flies, it is challenging to remove females from sterile males due to oviposition-associated piercing damage. This study developed a sex transition technique by feeding double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) specific to a sex-determining gene, Transformer-2 (Zs-Tra2) of the striped fruit fly, Zeugodacus scutellata. Zs-Tra2 is homologous to other fruit fly orthologs. It is highly expressed in female adults. RNA interference (RNAi) of Zs-Tra2 by injecting or feeding its specific dsRNA to larvae significantly increased male ratio. Recombinant Escherichia coli cells expressing dsRNA specific to Zs-Tra2 were prepared and used to feed larvae to suppress Zs-Tra2 gene expression levels. When these recombinant bacteria were fed to larvae during the entire feeding stage, the test population was significantly male-biased. Some females treated with such recombinant E. coli exhibited mosaic morphological characters such as the presence of male-specific abdominal setae in females. This study proposes a novel technique by feeding dsRNA specific to Transformer-2 to reduce female production during mass-rearing of tephritid males for SIT.

“…It is estimated that Tephritidae contains more than 4257 species in 471 genera worldwide (Thompson 1998), but to date, very limited mitogenomes have been reported. The striped fruit fly, Bactrocera (Zeugodacus) scutellata (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a vital quarantine pest that causes damage to Cucurbitaceae plants and has been found in China, Korea, Bhutan, Vietnam, Thailand and Japan (Ryukus) (Kim et al 2010;Vargas et al 2015).…”

We sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Bactrocera scutellata (Diptera: Tephritidae), which is an economically important pest in many area of East Asia. This mitogenome is 15,850 bp in length with an A þ T content of 72.99%, and contains 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes that are arranged in the same order as that of the inferred ancestral insects. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) start with a typical ATN codon, with the exception of cox1, which begins with TCG. Ten PCGs stop with termination codon TAA or TAG, whereas cox1, nad1 and nad5 have single T as the incomplete stop codon. All of the transfer RNA genes present the typical clover leaf secondary structure excepting trnS1 (AGN) without a DHU-arm. The A þ T-rich region (945 bp in length with 84.66% A þ T content) is located between rrnS and trnI, and contains a 20 bp poly-T stretch and 21 bp poly-A stretch. Excepting the control region, the longest intergenic spacer locates between trnR and trnN which is 56 bp long with an excessive high A þ T content (89.29%). Compared with other two mitogenomes of B. scutellata revealed that the mutation rates of mitochondrial genes were quite different. For population genetic studies of this species, we recommend using the cox1 or nad5 genes.
