Tephritidae insect pests account for extensive crop damage and yield losses globally. Modern, sustainable pest management approaches are species-specific and, therefore, high-quality genome assemblies are required for their application. Here, we present chromosome-level assemblies for five members of the Tephritidae family: Anastrepha fraterculus, Anastrepha ludens, Bactrocera dorsalis, Bactrocera zonata and Zeugodacus cucurbitae. The assemblies used long read sequencing polished with short read sequencing and scaffolded using Hi-C (chromatin conformation capture) sequencing. Prior to scaffolding the assembly deduplication was performed to separate a primary assembly and an alternate assembly, and each was then scaffolded independently. The scaffolded assemblies reached N50 length in the range of 60Mb to 120Mb. The scaffolded assemblies were verified with BUSCO and completeness was in the range 97% to 98.5% and had very low duplicated, fragmented and missing orthologs.
