“…This species presents a wide geographic distribution which extends from southern US to northern Argentina (Norrbom and Foote, 1989;White and Elson-Harris, 1992). Based on the variability observed for different biological parameters, it was suggested that the nominal A. fraterculus comprises, in reality, a "complex of cryptic species" (Baker et al, 1944;Morgante et al, 1980;Solferini and Morgante, 1987;Steck, 1991;Steck and Sheppard, 1993;Santos and Matioli, 1995). Recently, based on extensive isozymic, karyotypic, and morphometric studies (Selivon, 1996), eggshell morphology (Selivon and Perondini, 1998), and unusual features of early embryogenesis , two forms belonging to this complex were characterized, and temporarily denominated A. fraterculus sp.…”

Some aspects of reproductive isolation between allopatric populations of two closely related species of the Anastrepha fraterculus complex (A. fraterculus sp. 1 and sp. 2) were evaluated in laboratory conditions. Most of the crosses were fertile in each species as well as between sp. 2 females and sp. 1 males. In the reciprocal cross only 41.7% of the matings yielded viable progeny. Egg hatching occurred at similar rates within the two species, but was significantly lower in the crosses between the species. Adult emergence did not differ significantly among crosses. The sex ratio of adult progeny within each species, as well as in the hybrid progeny derived from sp. 1 females crossed to sp. 2 males, did not differ from the expected 1:1 ratio. However, in the crosses between sp. 2 females to sp. 1 males, a significant deviation in the sex ratio in favor of females was observed, according to the Haldane's rule. The results reinforce previous data which indicated that A. fraterculus sp. 1 and A. fraterculus sp. 2 are distinct biological entities.

Several authors suggest that under A. fraterculus name, a species complex is involved (Steck 1991;MacPheron et al 1999;Smith-Caldas et al 2001;Alberti et al 2008;Cáceres et al 2009 (Selivon & Perondini 1997Selivon et al 2005).…”

Abstract. Phylogenetic relationships among Andean-Ecuadorian and other Neotropical populations ofAnastrepha fraterculus and related species have been studied using two regions of mtDNA : 405 base pairs within Cytochrome Oxidase I ( COI) and 224 base pairs within Cytochrome Oxidase II (COII). Phylogenetic relationships were inferred using Maximun Parsimony (MP) method and haplotype networks. Andean-Ecuadorian populations of A. fraterculus are monomorphic at the COI locus and fall within a clade of South-American lowland populations of A. fraterculus. They appear to be unrelated with populations of northern Andes of Colombia and Venezuela also assigned to A. fraterculus, meaning that this species, as currently circumscribed, is not monophyletic and is composed of different biological entities that are little differentiated morphologically. At the COII locus, AndeanEcuadorian populations of A. fraterculus show a major haplotype with a few variants, and form a clade with the lowland populations of southern Brazil an Argentina, but are clearly differentiated from them. Andean-Ecuadorian populations of Anastrepha fraterculus appear to be homogeneous with respect to their mitochondrial genome and thus their identity as members of a single gene pool is confi rmed by these results.

“…Because of this, it has been the object of several morphological and genetic studies, which have revealed that it is actually a complex of multiple species (Stone 1942, Steck 1991, Steck & Sheppard 1993, Selivon 1996. Morgante et al (1980) analyzed 13 species of Anastrepha using isozymes, including several populations of A. fraterculus from Brazil, but only four species in the fraterculus group were included in their study. Steck (1991) focused on geographic populations of A. fraterculus and two other species in the fraterculus group in his isozyme study.…”
