The study was undertaken to compare the electrophoretic banding patterns of esterase isozyme between the pupae of ＂Bactrocera papaya＂ and ＂Bactrocera carambolae＂ (Diptera: Tephritidae) by using polyacrylamide gel. These two ＂Bactrocera＂ species are the major agricultural pests, especially fruits and vegetables. One esterase band, EST-1 was detected and the relative mobility value was 0.15 which was close to the cathode. The EST-1 band was present in the pupae of both ＂Bactrocera＂ species. There was no difference in the esterase patterns of both species. The thickness and activation of the band varied slightly. So, the results prove that the pupae of the two ＂Bactrocera＂ species have almost similar esterase band pattern in the same polyacrylamide gel.
