(Bactrocera correcta)
Bactrocera correcta is a species of tephritid fruit flies that is widely distributed in Southeast Asia. It is a serious pest species with a broad host range and has caused major infestations in Vietnam and Thailand. It is similar to B. dorsalis in color pattern, but has transverse facial spots and an incomplete costal band. It also resembles B. penecorrecta. Bactrocera is a large genus of tephritid fruit flies, with close to 500 species currently described and accepted. The genus name is derived from Ancient Greek bakter "rod" and kera "horn". Prior to the 1990s, almost all Dacini species were described in the genera Dacus or Strumeta. Bactrocera became the main genus for the tribe after Bactrocera and Dacus were split, but Bactrocera was further divided into Zeugodacus and Bactrocera in 2015. The subgeneric treatments have only partly adopted this latest change, but are indicated here to reflect the most modern - DNA based - insights.
