Abstract
Preliminary data suggest that fly specimens from Fiji, Tonga and Vanua tu presently classified as Bactrocera (Notodacus) xanthodes (Broun) sh ow significant divergence at the 18S ribosomal RNA gene level. Sequenc ing data indicate that the Vanuatu specimen may be considered a strain separate from that on Fiji and Tonga.
