Abstract
⺠Oriental fruit fly was discovered on Tahiti in 1996. Eradication programs failed. ⺠Fopius arisanus was released in 2002. By 2009, mean parasitism was 65%. ⺠Diachasmimorpha longicaudata was released in 2008, but parasitism has been <5%. ⺠Bactrocera dorsalis has displaced Bactrocera tryoni and Bactrocera kirki in many host fruits. ⺠This is the most successful example of fruit fly biocontrol outside of Hawaii.
