“…For the two main fruit fly species, yearly averages (of 5 years) gave us 197 adults of B. carambolae from Averrhoa carambola and 131 adults of A. striata from Psidium guajava (annex IV). If compared with the data reported by Silva et al in a neighboring area (Amapa state, Brazil) [6], the infestation rates recorded in guava were somewhat lower in French Guiana than in Amapa; but our results are not really different from results recorded from southern states of Brazil [35].…”

“…In South America, flies within the Anastrepha, Ceratitis [1][2][3][4][5][6] and, more recently, Bactrocera [7][8][9][10][11][12] genera cause substantial damages to commercial (and non-commercial) fruits. Anastrepha is the only genus native to the New World and is the most diverse and economically damaging genus of Tephritidae in the Neotropical region; it is commonly limited to tropical and subtropical areas [1,13,14], although there are some species that inhabit temperate areas as well [5].…”

-Introduction. This study was carried out in French Guiana, over ten years (1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003) by three institutions (SPV, FDGPC and CIRAD); it updates the current state of knowledge of Tephritidae (both Dacini and Toxotrypanini tribes) species present in this country. Materials and methods. The work was mainly conducted in inhabited areas (from the Brazilian border to the Surinamese border) where cultivated fruit crops are located. Specimens were obtained by adult trapping and fruit sampling in nearby orchards and at the edge of the rainforest. Trapping was done consistently for 10 years, while fruit sampling was a discontinuous activity. We present only the results for fruit sampling from three consecutive years (2001)(2002)(2003) in which a total of 880 kg from 45 fruit species in 22 plant families were collected. Results. Twenty-nine plant species from fourteen plant families were found to be hosts of twenty-one Anastrepha species and one Bactrocera species, Bactrocera carambolae Drew and Hancock. During this period, no specimen of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) was collected in traps or fruit samples. We registered the main fruit trees which were hosts for B. carambolae and Anastrepha spp. Five hymenopterous parasitoid species were identified. Among them, Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) is an exotic species and was introduced into French Guiana in collaboration with Brazilian authorities (EMBRAPA) in 2000 and 2001 within the framework of a classical biological control program. Conclusion. Our data provide baseline information about the tephritid species of economic importance present in French Guiana and assist in developing potential future control programs of both the B. carambolae and Anastrepha species in the Amazon Basin. These preliminary results are discussed in the light of their implication for rainforest conservation efforts and also evolutionary relationships between fruit flies and their hosts.

“…Braconid wasp parasitoids (Opiinae) of tephritid fruit flies are often surveyed in Brazil; however, the parasitoid fauna in some areas is still being explored, and recent surveys conducted in the state of Amapá Silva & Adaime 2007;Jesus et al 2008;Deus et al 2010;Silva et al 2011;Jesus et al 2012;Deus & Adaime 2013) yielded new species records nov.). This variation in the color of the stigma (Fig 1) led others to wonder if this change might correspond to a process of cline formation in D. areolatus (Slatkin 1973;Lenormand 2002).…”

This study clarifies the identity of two morphs that appear similar but not identical to the braconid wasp Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti), by analyses of fore wing morphometry and the ITS2 and D2 region of 28S ribosomal DNA. Wing measurements of D. areolatus and the two morphs, one with a yellow stigma and one with a brown stigma, from several Brazilian localities, were taken and subjected to geometric morphometry. Evaluation of 20 anatomical points on the fore wing by means of multivariate analysis revealed that these morphs consistently differ from D. areolatus. Intraspecific size variation in both molecular markers (ITS2 and 28S-D2 rDNA) was also detected among populations of D. areolatus from the states of Amapá, São Paulo, Goiás, and Tocantins, but no such difference was observed among samples of the two morphs. However, high sequence variability was observed for both markers among D. areolatus and these morphs. Morphometric analysis yielded similar results and produced dendrogram congruent with those based on the molecular markers, also indicating that D. areolatus corresponds to a complex of cryptic species. Therefore, our morphometric and molecular data, in addition to revealing that D. areolatus includes cryptic species, showed that the unidentified morphs actually represent two distinct, previously undescribed species of Doryctobracon. These new taxa are formally described herein, as D. whartoni sp. nov. and D. adaimei sp. nov.

“…Os exemplares de A. fraterculus coletados estão relacionados à presença de hospedeiros primários próximos ao pomar de sapota, como a pitangueira (Eugenia uniflora L. -Myrtaceae). Esta espécie polífaga causa danos em 81 frutos hospedeiros de diferentes famílias, sendo relatada como principal tefritídeo em alguns estudos realizados no Brasil (Alvarenga et al, 2009;Silva et al, 2011;Zucchi, 2008) e no Sul e Extremo-sul da Bahia (Bittencourt et al, 2006(Bittencourt et al, , 2012Dutra et al, 2009;Santos et al 2010).…”
