| hsp70 | the heat-shock 70 gene | Ceratitis capitata | genomic | [74] | 26-3L |
| gld | the glutamate dehydrogenase gene | Ceratitis capitata | genomic | unpublished | 6-2L |
| scarlet | the orthologue of the scarlet gene of D. melanogaster | Bactrocera tryoni | genomic | [75] | 82-6L |
| ovo | orthologue of the ovo gene of D. melanogaster | Bactrocera oleae | cDNA | unpublished | 63-5L |
| sxl | orthologue of the sex lethal gene of D. melanogaster | Bactrocera oleae | cDNA | [76] | 78-5R |
