Chaetorellia Succinea
''Chaetorellia succinea'' is a species of Tephritidae, tephritid fruit fly that was accidentally released in 1991 into the United States and had since become one of the major biological pest controls against the noxious weed Centaurea solstitialis, yellow starthistle (''Centaurea solstitialis''). It was not released intentionally for fears that it could become a pest of safflower, ''Carthamus tinctorius'' L. It was probably introduced from a shipment of yellow starthistle heads from Greece. ''C. succinea'' has also been found to feed on two other introduced ''Centaurea'' species (Maltese starthistle, ''Centaurea melitensis'' L.; Sicilian starthistle, ''Centaurea sulphurea'' Willd.) and the Native American starthistle (''Centaurea americana'') Nutt. ''C. succinea'' probably displaces another biocontrol fly, ''Chaetorellia australis'', where the two co-occur. Distribution Italy, Greece, Turkey, Caucasus & Kazakhstan, South to Egypt, Jordan & Iran. Introduced to Oregon & Californi ...

Chaetorellia Australis
''Chaetorellia australis'' is a species of Tephritidae, tephritid fruit fly known as the yellow starthistle peacock fly. It is used as an agent of biological pest control against the noxious weed Centaurea solstitialis, yellow starthistle (''Centaurea solstitialis''). The adult fly is light golden yellow in color with small black spots on its body and stripes on its wings. The male fly is about 4 millimeters long and the female is slightly longer due to her large ovipositor. The female lays up to 240 cylindrical eggs beneath the bracts on the Head (botany), flower heads of yellow starthistle. The larva emerges and tunnels into the flower head, where it feeds on developing seeds. A larva might destroy up to 90% of the developing seeds inside a given flower head. It overwinters inside the head and pupates into an adult fly. There are at least two generations per year. The first generation often utilizes the minor weed cornflower (''Centaurea cyanus'') before continuing reproduction ...

Tephritidae
The Tephritidae are one of two fly families referred to as fruit flies, the other family being the Drosophilidae. The family Tephritidae does not include the biological model organisms of the genus ''Drosophila ''Drosophila'' () is a genus of flies, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "small fruit flies" or (less frequently) pomace flies, vinegar flies, or wine flies, a reference to the characteristic of many s ...'' (in the family Drosophilidae), which is often called the "common fruit fly". Nearly 5,000 described species of tephritid fruit fly are categorized in almost 500 genera of the Tephritidae. Description, Genus, recategorization, and DNA sequencing, genetic analyses are constantly changing the taxonomy of this family. To distinguish them from the Drosophilidae, the Tephritidae are sometimes called peacock flies, in reference to their elaborate and colorful markings. The name comes from the Greek τεφρος, ''tephros'', ...

Chaetorellia Acrolophi
''Chaetorellia acrolophi'' is a species of tephritid fruit fly known as the knapweed peacock fly. It is used as an agent of biological pest control against noxious knapweeds, especially spotted knapweed (''Centaurea maculosa''). The adult fly is light greenish brown with brown-banded wings and iridescent green eyes. It is 3 to 5 millimeters lonexternal imageThe female lays about 70 eggs beneath the bracts on immature flower heads. When the larva emerges from the egg a few days later it burrows into the flower head and feeds on the developing florets. As the larva grows it begins to feed on the developing seeds, often consuming the entire contents of the flower head during its two-week larval stage. It pupates inside the empty flower head. This fly is native to Europe. It was first released as a knapweed biocontrol in the 1990s in Montana, and it is currently established in much of the western United States. It is host-specific to invasive knapweeds, preferring spotted knapwee ...
