This paper reviews all information gathered from different disciplines and studies to resolve the species
status within the Ceratitis FAR (C. fasciventris, C. anonae, C. rosa) complex, a group of polyphagous fruit
fly pest species (Diptera, Tephritidae) from Africa. It includes information on larval and adult morphology,
wing morphometrics, cuticular hydrocarbons, pheromones, microsatellites, developmental physiology
and geographic distribution. The general consensus is that the FAR complex comprises C. anonae, two
species within C. rosa (so-called R1 and R2) and two putatitve species under C. fasciventris. The information
regarding the latter is, however, too limited to draw final conclusions on specific status. Evidence for
this recognition is discussed with reference to publications providing further details.
