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".[1] 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.[2] Subsequently, it was agreed that B. invadens, B. papayae and B. philippinensis be synonymized as B. dorsalis.[3] To counteract its detrimental effects to the fruit business, the industry resorts to cold treatment in order to get rid of the larvae.[4]
