“…The genus Anastrepha includes more than 300 species of fruit flies, and at least a half dozen of them are pests of native and exotic host plants in Latin America [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus , has primary pest status in several South American countries, including in Brazil [ 1 ].…”

The existing rearing protocols for Anastrepha fraterculus must be reviewed to make economically viable the production of sterile flies for their area-wide application. Additionally, evidence of sexual incompatibility between a long-term mass-reared Brazilian strain and wild populations has been found. To address these issues, this study aimed to refine rearing protocols and to assess the suitability of an A. fraterculus strain for the mass production of sterile flies. A series of bioassays were carried out to evaluate incubation times for eggs in a bubbling bath and to assess the temporal variation of egg production from ovipositing cages at different adult densities. A novel larval diet containing carrageenan was also evaluated. Egg incubation times higher than 48 h in water at 25 °C showed reduced larval and pupal yields. Based on egg production and hatchability, the density of 0.3 flies/cm2 can be recommended for adult cages. The diet with carrageenan was suitable for mass production at egg-seeding densities between 1.0 and 1.5 mL of eggs/kg of diet, providing higher insect yields than a corn-based diet from Embrapa. Even after two years of being reared under the new rearing protocols, no sexual isolation was found between the bisexual strain and wild flies.

Anastrepha cruzi was described in 1934, from a specimen without an abdomen. The holotype is the only known record for this species, collected in the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest (location unknown). However, during fruit fly surveys with McPhail-type traps on the campus of the Federal University of Amazonas in Manaus (state of Amazonas), two females were identified as A. cruzi, based on thoracic and wing patterns. These females are described in detail here, including the aculeus tip, to clarify the identity and facilitate recognition of A. cruzi. A single female of A. caballeroi Norrbom was also collected in these surveys, and this species is recorded here for the first time in Brazil.
