Anastrepha species (Diptera: Tephritidae), their hosts and parasitoids in the extreme north of Brazil

Abstract

This work was carried out in five municipalities of the State of Roraima, Brazil, aiming to record the occurrence of Anastrepha species, their host plants and parasitoids. Fleshy fruits of 21 species of 10 families were sampled from September/2007 to September/2008. We collected 10 species of Anastrepha (Anastrepha bahiensis Lima and Anastrepha montei Lima were reported for the first time in Roraima) and five species of parasitoids (4 Braconidae and 1 Figitidae). Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti) was the most abundant parasitoid.

Fruit Flies and Their Parasitoids in the Fruit Growing Region of Livramento De Nossa Senhora, Bahia, With Records of Unprecedented Interactions

“…Ferreira et al (2003) found the D. areolatus species associated with "Imperial" and "Tommy Atkins" mango fruits, with the highest frequency (94.1%) occurring in fruits of the "Imperial" variety. Of the 71 specimens of parasitoids found in the fruit growing region of Anagé, Bahia, 63 (88.7%) were of the D. areolatus species, being the most abundant (SÁ et al, 2012b), a fact also reported in other studies (ALVARENGA et al, 2009;MARSARO JÚNIOR et al, 2011a;ARAÚJO et al, 2015).…”

“…In the present work, A. obliqua was the only species obtained during the study period. This species has been reported as one of the most frequent in mango orchards as observed in the Vale do Rio Gavião Region, BA (SÁ et al, 2012b) and in Piauí (FEITOSA et al, 2008) and in several hosts for the conditions of Roraima (MARSARO JÚNIOR et al, 2011a) and Piauí (ARAÚJO et al, 2014). On the other hand, Silva et al (2011b) obtained three Anastrepha species in myrtle fruits in the state of Bahia, A. fraterculus, A. zenildae and A. sororcula, with no record of A. obliqua.…”

Diversidade e índice de infestação de Anastrepha spp. em goiabeiras comerciais de Boa Vista, Roraima

“…Das 24 espécies de Anastrepha registradas em diversos hospedeiros em todo o Estado de Roraima (Marsaro Júnior et al, 2011;Adaime et al, 2012;Marsaro Júnior et al, 2013), 15 foram identificados neste trabalho em associação com a cultura da goiaba no município de Boa Vista: A. atrigona, A. bahiensis, A. distincta, A. ethalea, A. fraterculus, A. leptozona, A. obliqua, A. serpentina, A. sororcula, A. striata, A. parishi, A. turpinae, A. zenildae, Anastrepha sp1 e A. sp2. Segundo Norrbom et al (1999), essas espécies estão inseridas em 7 grupos infragenéricos (Tabela 1).…”

“…O índice de infestação variou de zero a 31,7 pupários/kg de fruto. Apenas fêmeas de A. serpentina emergiram dos frutos, conformando a preferência desta espécie por Sapotaceae (Garcia;Norrbom, 2011;Junior et al, 2011;Uramoto, Martins e Zucchi, 2008;Zucchi, 2008).…”
