We report the results of long-term collecting efforts conducted mainly in the western Amazon region of Peru, and in Bolivia, Ecuador, Suriname, French Guiana, and Panama. Host plant and distribution records are documented for 55 plant species associated with 40 species of Anastrepha Schiner belonging to 15 species groups or unassigned to a group. We document new host records or provide detail for records recently reported in the literature with limited information and also describe the larval feeding modes within the fruit. This contributes to a better understanding of the biology of Anastrepha, facilitates phylogenetic analysis, and develops identification tools for the genus. We provide a synopsis of native host plants by Anastrepha species groups to compare the range of host plants within these groups. We report 25 plant species as hosts for the first time for 22 Anastrepha species and new distribution records for 18 Anastrepha species. We provide photographs of the fruit injury caused by larvae of 31 Anastrepha species. We report two larval feeding modes: 23 species are pulp feeders in 21 native and four exotic host plants, 11 species are seed feeders in 12 native host plants, and four species feed on both pulp and seeds of three native host plants. We report the first host plant record, two species of Sapotaceae, for the speciosa group, which is among the most ancestral clades of Anastrepha. We present and discuss our results in evolutionary terms following the most recently inferred Anastrepha phylogeny.

“…Most species in the genus Anastrepha are polyphagous although they exhibit preference hierarchies in which, for example, A. obliqua prefers mangoes and other fruits of the Anacardiaceae family, and A. fraterculus prefers guava and other fruits of the Myrtaceae family (Jiron & Soto‐Manitiu, 1988; Malavasi & Morgante, 1980; Nascimento et al., 1982). Although both species are similar in terms of their ovipositioning behaviour and larval development, there are distinctions and variations in their life histories such as the numbers of eggs deposited per bout, the durations of their developmental phases, their periods of pre‐ovipositioning, resource preferences and competitive capacities (Aluja, 1994; Cruz et al., 2000; Liedo et al., 1992; Weens et al., 2001), which allow one or the other species to become dominant in a given environment.…”

Interspecific competition between individuals of different species can result in reductions in their fecundity, growth or survival, reflecting differential exploitation of resources that become intensified due to spatial co‐occurrence, ecological similarity and increased population densities. As two species cannot occupy the same niche, coexistence is only possible if the available resources are used in non‐overlapping manners such as niche partitioning or the use of refuges. Among agricultural insect pests, such as fruit flies of the family Tephritidae, competitive interactions can result in competitive displacement, host changes, or the expansion or restriction of the numbers of hosts utilized that can have negative consequences for human agricultural activities. We evaluated the competitive interactions between two fruit fly species of the genus Anastrepha, Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart, 1835) and Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedmann, 1830), on their respective preferred hosts (mangoes and guava). Experiments of larval competition and competition for ovipositioning sites by adult females were performed to compare the parameters of larval development time, numbers of pupae and emerged adults and numbers of ovipositions in the presence or absence of interspecific competition. We observed that the interactions between those species were asymmetrical and hierarchical, and our results suggest a competitive displacement of A. fraterculus by A. obliqua when those two species are present on the same fruit, whether mangoes or guavas.

“…Many species of Diptera infest fruits of P. caimito (Jirón et al 1988;Carrejo & Gonzáles 1999;Raga et al 2011). In Brazil, there are reports of 8 species of frugivorous flies associated with P. caimito: Tephritidae: Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann), A. leptozona Hendel, A. obliqua (Macquart), A. serpentina (Wiedemann), A. striata Schiner and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann); and Lonchaeidae: Neosilba glaberrima (Wiedemann) and N. dimidiata (Curran) (Zucchi 2000;Zucchi 2001;Raga et al 2003;Zucchi et al 2011;Strikis et al 2011).…”
