The    Bactrocera   dorsalis    species complex, currently comprising about 90 entities has received much attention. During the last decades, considerable effort has been devoted to delimiting the species of the complex. This information is of great importance for agriculture and world trade, since the complex harbours several pest species of major economic importance and other species that could evolve into global threats. Speciation in   Diptera   is usually accompanied by chromosomal rearrangements, particularly inversions that are assumed to reduce/eliminate gene flow. Other candidates currently receiving much attention regarding their possible involvement in speciation are reproductive symbionts, such as    Wolbachia   ,    Spiroplasma   ,    Arsenophonus   ,    Rickettsia    and    Cardinium   . Such symbionts tend to spread quickly through natural populations and can cause a variety of phenotypes that promote pre-mating and/or post-mating isolation and, in addition, can affect the biology, physiology, ecology and evolution of their insect hosts in various ways. Considering all these aspects, we present: (a) a summary of the recently gained knowledge on the cytogenetics of five members of the    B.   dorsalis    complex, namely    B.   dorsalis    s.s. ,    B.   invadens   ,    B.   philippinensis   ,    B.   papayae    and    B.   carambolae   , supplemented by additional data from a    B.   dorsalis    s.s.  colony from China, as well as by a cytogenetic comparison between thedorsalis    complex and the genetically close species,    B.   tryoni   , and, (b) a reproductive symbiont screening of 18 different colonized populations of these five taxa. Our analysis did not reveal any chromosomal rearrangements that could differentiate among them. Moreover, screening for reproductive symbionts was negative for all colonies derived from different geographic origins and/or hosts. There are many different factors that can lead to speciation, and our data do not support chromosomal and/or symbiotic-based speciation phenomena in the taxa under study.
