Mitotic metaphase karyotypes of the two economically important fruit fly species, Bactrocera zonata and Zeugodacus tau, with C-banding technique were studied to understand their genomic organization and distribution patterns. Both species consist of a diploid set with 12 biarmed (2n = 12) chromosome...
