Tephritidae

The Tephritidae are one of two fly families referred to as fruit flies, the other family being the Drosophilidae. Nearly 5,000 described species of tephritid fruit fly are categorized in almost 500 genera of the Tephritidae. Description, recategorization, and genetic analyses are constantly changing the taxonomy of this family. To distinguish them from the Drosophilidae, the Tephritidae are sometimes called peacock flies, in reference to their elaborate and colorful markings. Read more at Wikipedia
