A diversidade de Diptera foi estudada em quatro fragmentos de loresta estacional semidecidual no sul de Goiás. A riqueza das famílias Muscidae, Calliphoridae e Sarcophagidae foi analisada. Os insetos foram coletados bimestralmente durante um ano por meio de armadilhas com iscas em decomposição. As armadilhas foram mantidas durante cinco dias nos fragmentos. Um total de 1.956 indivíduos pertencentes a 13 famílias foram coletados. Foram identiicadas 29 espécies pertencentes às principais famílias. Muscidae mostrou maior abundância enquanto Sarcophagidae apresentou maior número de espécies. Houve um novo registro da espécie Philornis schildi Dodge, 1963 (Muscidae) no território brasileiro. Estes dados reforçam a importância da preservação dessas áreas e novos estudos para melhorar o conhecimento da biodiversidade associada a estes fragmentos. Esta informação também pode ser útil em futuros estudos sobre o impacto da ação humana sobre a fauna de insetos associados a este ambiente. Palavras-chave: Cerrado; Diptera; Itumbiara-GO; Philornis schildi Abstract Dipteran fauna associated with decaying organic matter in semi-deciduous forest fragments in southern Goiás, Brazil. Dipteran diversity was studied in four seasonal, semi-deciduous forest fragments in southern Goiás state, Brazil. Species richness of Muscidae, Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae families was analyzed. The insects were collected each two months over the course of one year, using traps with decaying bait. The traps were kept in the ield for ive days each sampling period. A total of 1,956 individuals belonging to 13 families were collected. 29 species were identiied belonging to the main families. Muscidae had the highest abundance, while Sarcophagidae presented the greatest number of species. We also report the occurrence of Philornis schildi (Muscidae) for the irst time in Brazil. These data reinforce the importance of preserving these areas, and indicate the need for new studies to improve knowledge of the biodiversity associated with these fragments. This information may also be useful in future studies regarding the impact of human activity on insect fauna associated with this environment.

“…Various hymenopteran parasitoids have been documented parasitising Z. indianus in Brazil, though with low levels of parasitisation (2–4%) (Marchiori et al., 2003, Marchiori and Silva, 2003, Silva et al., 2004). Bacterial isolates are considered promising for the formulation of toxic baits (Geisler et al., 2019).…”

The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Zaprionus indianus (Diptera: Drosophilidae), the African fig fly for the territory of the EU. This species successfully colonised the Indian subcontinent more than four decades ago, and more recently South and North America. Within the EU, the pest occurs in Cyprus, Malta, Portugal (Madeira) and Spain (Canary Islands and Andalusia). Z. indianus is not listed in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/ 2072. The larvae of this fly feed on more than 80 plant species both cultivated and non-cultivated. Females produce around 60-70 eggs. Egg laying mostly occurs in decaying fruit or fruit with injuries or mechanical damage. However, Z. indianus can oviposit on undamaged healthy fruit such as figs, strawberries and guavas which provide a potential pathway for entry into the EU. Lower temperature thresholds are around 9-10°C. Optimum development occurs at 28°C. The number of generations per year varies from 12 to 16. Climatic conditions in many EU member states and host plant availability in those areas are conducive for establishment. The introduction of Z. indianus is expected to have an economic impact in the EU especially on fig and strawberry production. Damage caused by other fruit flies (Drosophilidae and Tephritidae) could be increased by mixed infestations. Phytosanitary measures are available to reduce the likelihood of entry and further spread. Z. indianus satisfies all of the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for it to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest.
