“…According to the most recent taxonomic publication on Anastrepha (Norrbom and Korytkowski 2009), currently there are 235 valid species in this genus, of which 104 (44.25%) are reported to occur in Brazil. Based on current knowledge of species richness in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), 29 species of Anastrepha are recorded in that state, representing 11.91% of the valid species, and 26.92% of the species reported in Brazil (Fig.…”

“…Currently, 235 species of Anastrepha Schiner have been described, of which at least 104 occur in Brazil (Jesus et al 2008, Uramoto et al 2008, Norrbom and Korytkowski 2009, where they inhabit all biomes. These ßies cause an annual loss to Brazilian horticulture of between US$120 and 200 million (Zucchi et al 2004).…”

Fruit flies (Tephritidae) and lance flies (Lonchaeidae) (Diptera) include pests of highest economic importance to horticulture around the world, because various species damage high value fruit crops, These Tephritoidea are the reason for quarantine barriers among many countries, limiting the commerce of fresh fruits and vegetables. Knowledge of frugivorous tephritoid species richness and their interactions with the host plants are extremely important to Integrated Pest Management. This paper presents the interactions of 15 species of Anastrepha Schiner, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Tephritidae), and eight species of Neosilba McAlpine (Lonchaeidae) with 40 host fruit species. We discovered that Pouteria glomerata (Miquel) Radlkofer (Sapotaceae) is the host fruit of Anastrepha undosa Stone. A. zernyi Lima was associated with fruit of Anacardium othonianum Rizzini (Anacardiaceae). This is the first record of A. zernyi from the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, and of A. hastata Stone from Central Brazil, A. sorocula Zucchi and A. zenildae Zucchi were the tephritids that infested the highest number of host fruits, A. alveatoides Blanchard, A. distincta Greene, A. macrura Hendel, A. rheediae Stone and A. undosa Stone were recovered from only one species of host, and all of these associations are new records. Also established for the first time are the associations among eight species of Neosilba with 38 host species. N. zadolicha McAlpine and Steyskal, N. pendula (Bezzi), N. glaberrima (Wiedemann) and N. inesperata Strikis and Prado were the most polyphagous Lonchaeidae.

“…Anastrepha Schiner (Diptera: Tephritidae) is the most diverse genus of Tephritidae endemic to the Neotropical Region, currently with Ϸ240 species described (Norrbom et al 1999, Norrbom andKorytkowski 2009). At least 50% of these are reported in Brazil, with a total of 103 described Anastrepha species and several newly discovered species that are yet to be described (Zucchi 2008).…”

We describe detailed scanning electron microscopic (SEM) observations of eggs of six Anastrepha species in the fraterculus group: Anastrepha antunesi Lima, Anastrepha bahiensis Lima, Anastrepha coronilli Carrejo & González, Anastrepha distincta Greene, Anastrepha turpiniae Stone, and Anastrepha zenildae Zucchi, for the first time. Eggs were dissected from females captured in McPhail traps in Cariri in the state of Tocantins; Itacoatiara, Manaus, and Presidente Figueiredo in the state of Amazonas; and Porto Velho in the state of Rondônia, in the Brazilian Amazon. Eggs were examined using both scanning electron and optical microscopes. At least 10 eggs were examined for each species by using SEM, and 20–35 eggs per female of at least three females of each species were prepared for light microscopy. The eggs of all six species are similar in gross morphology. They are tapered at both ends, have a papilla at the anterior pole, and the micropyle is located on the dorsal side near the anterior pole. Diagnostic characters to differentiate among these six species include the chorion ornamentation, location of aeropyles, and a pronounced rim of the chorion with a woolly appearance surrounding the micropyle. None of the eggs of the studied species had a conspicuous respiratory appendage.
