Abstract

Keywords

There was a mistake in Figure 1c as published. The figure and its legend were incorrect. The original figure legend was:

Morphological features of adult characters oriental fruit fly, B. dorsalis (Tephritidae, Diptera). **(a)** Head and ommatidia; the compound eyes are large and oval, with distinct optical units (ommatidia). **(b)** Thorax; the scutum is reddish brown to black, with yellow lateral vittae. **(c)** Wings largely hyaline, with a narrow, continuous costal band confluent with vein R2 + 3.
Figure 1. Morphological features of adult characters oriental fruit fly, B. dorsalis (Tephritidae, Diptera). (a) Head and ommatidia; the compound eyes are large and oval, with distinct optical units (ommatidia). (b) Thorax; the scutum is reddish brown to black, with yellow lateral vittae. (c) Wings largely hyaline, with a narrow, continuous costal band confluent with vein R2 + 3.

“Figure 1 Morphological features of adult characters oriental fruit fly, B. dorsalis (Tephritidae, Diptera). (a) Head and Ommatidia, the compound eyes are large and oval of optical units of ommatidium. (b) Thorax with anepisternum and mediotergite (below the scutellum) yellow with black spots are present on the margins of the thorax. (c) Wings with four yellow parallel crossband, one band occurs in region of sub basal, second one is on discal region, third origins on subapical and third and fourth bands extend toward apical margins.”

The corrected Figure 1 and its caption appear below.
