“…Our study records for the first time, infestations of commercial pink-flesh guavas by A. ludens in the State of Morelos, Mexico. Although, A. ludens flies are usually caught in McPhail traps in the main guava-growing areas of México (Guerrero, Michoacán, and Aguascalientes), larvae and pupae have never been recorded from guavas in this region (Martínez et al 2010, Vazquez and Álvarez 2021, Figueroa-Bustamante et al 2022). The relatively low susceptibility of guavas to A. ludens was generally attributed to fruit firmness, chemical content, and oviposition preference (Birke and Aluja 2018).…”

“…A. striata is a major threat to guava in these regions. Quarantine restrictions also include other fruit fly species like A. fraterculus , A. obliqua , A. serpentina (Wiedemann), and the invasive Mexican fruit fly, A. ludens Loew (Birke et al 2013, Vazquez and Álvarez 2021, Figueroa-Bustamante et al 2022). On the eastern side of Mexico (Gulf Coast), guavas were recently introduced and grown as commercial plantations in small areas.…”

Guavas (Psidium guajava L.) are a main host of several Lonchaeidae and Tephritidae fruit flies. In Mexico, guavas are infested mostly by Anastrepha striata Schiner, A. fraterculus (Wiedemann), and occasionally by A. obliqua Macquart. We sampled 240 pink-flesh guavas from an orchard of mixed mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) and guava trees at San Rafael de Zaragoza, Morelos. Fruit was collected biweekly during two fruiting periods [August-September 2021 (wet season) and January-February 2022 (dry season)]. Infestation rate, Host Suitability Index (HSI), and co-infestations by frugivorous fruit flies were assessed. We found 728 pupae (76% Anastrepha spp.), and an unusually large number of Neosilba spp. (24%). More infestation was detected during the dry season (432 pupae in the dry season versus 296 pupae in the wet season) probably caused by scarce availability of fruit. We reported for the first time, infestation of pink-flesh guavas by A. ludens from field-collected guavas picked from trees in mature-green stage. Using the HS Index, pink-flesh guavas were an inadequate host for A. ludens but were a good host for A. striata. We reported Neosilba spp. as a primary invader of guavas and discussed findings in the context of quarantine risk assessment.

Alpha and beta diversity of Anastrepha spp. fruit flies in orchards of creole 'Barranqueño' mango (Mangifera indica L.) at Amatitán, Tequila, and San Cristóbal de la Barranca municipalities (Jalisco, Mexico) were analyzed. Eighty-two Multilure traps were set up to catch specimens from May to October 2021. The traps were at Amatitán (12), Tequila (12), and San Cristóbal de la Barranca (18) where altitude and temperature variables also were recorded. Alpha diversity (Hill numbers) and beta diversity (βSOR) were analyzed for each component. In total, 21,708 specimens of four species were captured: A. ludens (93.09%), A. serpentina (5.79%), A. obliqua (1.02%), and A. striata (0.09%). Richness of flies between Barranqueño mango orchards might be the same or similar, but diversity and equity of the assemblage differed in each orchard. There was less spatial rotation of Anastrepha species in the orchards. Diversity of flies in Barranqueño mango orchards was related to agroclimatic factors, crop phenology, altitude of the study area, and other pest hosts.
