Atherigona orientalis, the tomato fly or pepper fruit fly, is a species of fly in the family Muscidae. It is the only member of Atherigona known from the New World, but is common also in warmer parts of the Old World, especially the southern Palaearctic, throughout the Oriental and Afrotropical regions, Australia and into the Pacific, and almost every island as far east as Hawaii. It is considered a pest of capsicum and tomato in the European and Mediterranean region, but may also be a pest to other crops.
