“…The attraction of females to the fruit is enhanced by color and by the release of volatiles, as highlighted by Malo et al (2005) and Zarbin et al (2009). Montes et al (2011) obtained a 1:2 sex ratio (F:M) in areas with cucurbits, as in this study, however it appears that there is no common standard with regards to the sex ratio of tephritids captured in traps baited with proteins, as verified by various authors who obtained a higher number of females (Montes & Raga 2006;Dutra et al 2009;Trindade & Uchôa 2011;Santos et al 2011). The variation of the number of males and females in the traps may likely be related to the number of samples of each sex in the field or that females are feeding and copulating in areas near the trap and then moving towards the oviposition sites.…”

ABSTRACT. Fruit flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) and their parasitoids on cultivated and wild hosts in the Cerrado-Pantanal ecotone in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Information on frugivorous flies in cultivated or wild host plants and their parasitoids in the Cerrado-Pantanal ecotone in Aquidauana, Mato Grosso do Sul is presented and discussed. Fruit fly samples were collected weekly in specific fruit trees, and McPhail ® traps were installed in the same trees for a period of two years. The fruit flies infested ripe and unripe fruits of Averrhoa carambola L., Schoepfia sp., Psidium guajava L. and Pouteria torta (Mart.) Radlk and mature fruits of Anacardium occidentale L. and Inga laurina (Sw.) Willd. Nineteen fruit fly species were obtained with the combination of sampling methods (collecting fruits and trapping), nine of them obtained with both methods, five found only in fruits and five only in traps. This is the first record of Anastrepha striata Schiner in a species of Sapotaceae, as well as for A. castanea Norrbom and A. daciformes Bezzi in Schoepfia sp. (Olacaceae), and for A. distincta Greene in fruits of P. guajava in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Fruit collections simultaneously associated with capture of fruit flies by McPhail traps in the same host plants are essential to understand the diversity of fruit flies and their relationship with hosts and parasitoids. Species of Braconidae and Pteromalidae were recovered, where Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti) was the most abundant parasitoid in larvae of tephritids infesting both cultivated and wild host fruits.

“…This economically important complex (Zucchi, ) is distributed from northern Mexico to the south of South America (Stone, ; Aluja, ; Malavasi et al., ; Norrbom, ). In Brazil, the morphotypes are distributed mainly along the east coast and in some inland states to the west (Trindade & Uchôa, ; Vaníčková et al., ).…”

“…The three Brazilian morphotypes are distributed along the eastern, northern, and southern coasts of the country as well as in three inland states to the west (Trindade & Uchoa, ; Vaníčková et al., ). Anastrepha sp.1 has been found in the southern and southeastern areas of the country (Selivon et al., , , , ; Alberti et al., ; Hernández‐Ortiz et al., ; Dias et al., ), whereas A .…”

Reproductive isolation among biological strains can be detected by analyzing reproductive barriers between populations. The Anastrepha fraterculus Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae) cryptic species complex comprises eight morphotypes defined by morphometric characteristics. The present study analyzed the existence of pre‐ and post‐zygotic isolation among populations of A. sp.1 aff. fraterculus (A. sp.1) and A. sp.3 aff. fraterculus (A. sp.3) determined by tests of sexual compatibility, analyses of the temporal pattern of calling behavior, and the reproductive performance of the offspring of homotypic and heterotypic crosses. Pre‐zygotic tests indicated asymmetric matings with preferences for homotypic crosses. The A. sp.3 population demonstrated distinct characteristics, including low copulation percentages and a high proportion of homotypic copulations under crowded conditions. The females of the A. sp.1 population demonstrated lower copulation latency. The analyzed morphotypes demonstrated two peaks in pheromone emission activity, at the beginning and at the end of the morning and were differentiated in the abundance of males. The calling behavior of the hybrids between A. sp.1 male and A. sp.3 female crosses had an intermediate pattern compared to either parental type. Post‐zygotic compatibility tests indicated low viability of the cross between A. sp.3 males and A. sp.1 females. Pronounced asymmetries were found in the sex ratios of the offspring of heterotypic crosses, and only hybrids from A. sp.1 male vs. A. sp.3 female crosses produced descendants. The observed pre‐ and post‐zygotic incompatibilities reflect the probable occurrence of incipient speciation between A. sp.1 and A. sp.3. A more adequate taxonomic classification of this species complex that considers the distinct characteristics of each morphotype will be needed to improve environmentally wise control methods against this insect pest.

“…Considering the results obtained in this work and others already carried out, it is known that in addition to B. carambolae , 23 species of Anastrepha were reported in Oiapoque, and the host plants are unknown for 13 of them because they were captured in McPhail-type traps (Ronchi-Teles 2000; Carvalho 2003; Norrbom & Uchôa 2011; Trindade & Uchôa 2011). In this study, there were no new records of species of the genus Anastrepha in this municipality.…”
