Family Tephritidae is an important group of senous insects that includes a number of species known to cause losses to horticultural crops. The present work was carried out in Abukarshoula in South Kordofan, Elfaki Hashim in Central Sudan and Kassala in the East of Sudan during the years 2007/2008 and 2009. The overall objectives of this research was to characterize the species composition of Tephritid fruit flies, determine their host ranges, assess their effect on crop yield and to evaluate the effectiveness of various attractants for their mass trapping. Methodology: Monitoring of population changes was conducted by using traps with different designs and employing various attractants. To determine the host range of fruit fly species relevant fruit were collected and used for the possibility of rearing. Standard protocols and established molecular biology techniques were used for molecular characterization of fruit flies
