It is believed that the melon fruit fly is now widespread in all the areas of melon plantings within Ukraine , as it was entirely neglected at the beginning of its spread. Furthermore, it has been found to be imported into many other regions of Ukraine with melonstransported for commercial purposes; for instance, in the Transcarpatian Region (http://izan.kiev.ua/ukrbin/show_image.php?imageid = 41666). Its establishment, however, has been restricted to the southern Ukraine , which is the only appropriate area for cultivation of its hosts.
