ABSTRACT
Abstract The European Union (EU) regulation for fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) was modified in 2022, and the broad ‘non‐European Tephritidae’ group replaced by a list of 75 regulated taxa (66 species nine genera). National Reference Laboratories EU must now be able to identify all them, whatever development stage, order carry out official surveillance. To help laboratories, Laboratory Insects Mites developed an interactive multi‐entry online key called Q‐Tephrikey. is freely available on XPer3 website. It covers total 113 tephritid taxa, encompassing ones, 12 listed as non‐regulated exceptions that have been intercepted Europe. are encoded two morphological matrices adults larvae. This latter one less extensive because only 38 among described at larval stage. diagnosticians, accompanied pathway matrix distributions host ranges each taxon. We present here detailed content functioning Q‐Tephrikey, discuss its strengths weaknesses terms objectives. https://q‐tephrikey.identificationkey.org/mkey.html .
