Following a failed attempt to eradicate B. dorsalis, documented in this paper, it became established and the dominant fruit fly, displac- ing B. kirki and B. tryoni. Two braconid parasitoids were introduced from Hawaii and established: Fopius arisanus (Sonan) (released in 2002) and Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (released in 2007). By 2009 mean parasitism for fruit flies infesting common guava (Psidium guajava), Tahitian chestnut (Inocarpus fagifer), and tropical almond (Terminalia catappa) fruits on Tahiti was 70%, and 95% of the emerged parasitoids were F. arisanus. Numbers of B. dorsalis trapped from methyl eugenol and bred from guava, Tahitian chestnut and tropical almond have been reduced by 87%, 89%, 88%, and 91–94%, respectively, from the 2002–03 peaks.en-USAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United StatesOriental fruit fly, competitive displacement, biological control, area- wide suppression, Fopius arisanus, Diachasmimorpha longicaudata.Article
