“…Due to high levels of infestation in native and exotic fruits, lonchaeids are currently considered of economic importance in Brazil (Uchôa et al 2002;Uchôa 2012;Strikis et al 2011;Strikis et al 2012;Gisloti & Prado 2012). In this work, the larvae of some species of Neosilba colonized higher number of fruit species than Anastrepha.…”

“…Many studies have been conducted to document biodiversity, e.g., Basset et al (2000), Hawkins & Pausas (2004), and Lewinsohn et al (2005). Brazil is a country with high biological diversity, and in the Amazon region most species of insects are still unknown (Strikis et al 2012).…”

“…In Brazil, the shoot fly was first reported in 1940 (Graner, 1942;Zikan, 1944), with Lonchaea pendula Bezzi, 1919. This species has been documented in all geopolitical regions of the country, including the states of Amazonas (Silva, Magalhães, & Costa, 1981), Paraíba (S. D. Souza, Matias, & Lopes, 1982), Minas Gerais (J. C. Souza & Reis, 1986;Strikis, Marsaro, Adaime, & Lima, 2012), Rondônia (F. N. S.

The cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) crop is relevant for human livelihoods, particularly in poorer regions. It is consumed fresh or as industrialized flour, and the roots and aerial parts are also used to feed livestock. Pests may limit cassava production, which may endanger food security due to the socioeconomic importance of the crop. Reports of the occurrence of three insect guilds, lace bugs, shoot flies, and whiteflies have been recorded in Paraná State, Brazil, but the distinct species and their distribution are yet to be determined. This lack of information limits the development of strategies to mitigate pest damage. Surveys were conducted in 39 counties (four farms per county) distributed throughout the state that encompass the various socioeconomic regions. The collected material was properly packed and sent to the laboratory for identification, and the following species were identified: lace bugs Vatiga illudens Drake, 1922 and Vatiga manihotae Drake, 1922 (both Hemiptera: Tingidae); whiteflies Bemisia tuberculata (Bondar, 1923) and Aleurothrixus aepim (Goeldi, 1886) (both Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and the cassava shoot fly Neosilba perezi Romero & Ruppel, 1973 (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) in Paraná State. Lace bugs were not found in the samples in the eastern and southern portions of the state. V. illudens was more widespread than V. manihotae. The whitefly A. aepim was not observed in three counties (eastern, southern, and central regions), whereas B. tuberculata and the cassava shoot fly were found in all regions sampled in Paraná State. Suggestions for future investigations of pest management are proposed.

“…The infestation of fruit flies in cassava, where about 35% and 25% of the individuals respectively caught in cassava were A. montei. Therefore, possibly the capture of the only specimen in this environment is due to the presence of cassava or pine nut brave in the vicinity of the orchard because the study is located in a region with predominance of family farming, where cassava is common (STRIKIS et al (2012).…”

This study aimed to evaluate how the surrounding vegetation affects the assemblage of fruit flies. For this, flies were collected in guava orchards with distinct types of surrounding vegetation (exotic pasture, native forest and fruit tree intercropping). The experiment was conducted in Itaporã and Dourados, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Weekly samples were collected from March to April 2015. McPhail traps were baited with 5% hydrolyzed corn protein. Species richness, diversity index and abundance were evaluated for each orchard, as well as the species composition of fruit fly between the environments surrounding the orchard and, finally, the sex ratio. A total of 579 individuals were collected of the species Anastrepha fraterculus, A. montei, A. obliqua, A. sororcula, A. striata, A. turpiniae and A. zenildae. The orchard surrounded by native forest had the highest species richness and Shannon diversity. The species composition differed between environments, with the formation of three distinct groups. The environment surrounding the guava orchard influences the richness, diversity, abundance and sex ratio of fruit flies, indicating that the native forest may provide more resources for the maintenance of these insects.
