Distribution of Anastrepha Schiner, 1868 (Diptera, Tephritidae) in Brazil: new records from the state of Paraná

Abstract

The first records of six Anastrepha species are reported for the state of Paraná, Brazil, namely A. amita Zucchi, 1979; A. barnesi Aldrich, 1925; A. consobrina (Loew, 1873); A. manihoti Lima, 1934; A. morvasi Uramoto & Zucchi, 1999; and A. punctata Hendel, 1914. Citharexylum solanaceum Cham. (Verbenaceae) is recorded as a new host plant for A. amita, and Inga vera Willd. (Fabaceae) as new host plant for A. distincta. With these new records the number of species of Anastrepha recorded from Paraná is increased from 15 to 21.

Spatio-temporal distribution, diversity and monitoring of fruit flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) in papaya orchards in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil

“…Several fruit fly species exploit discrete resources, mainly fruits, commonly present in commercial orchards (Sousa et al, 2019;Soares et al, 2020), but also frequently use natural forest host plants (Garcia et al, 2008;Lampert et al, 2020). Several aspects of pest management have been intensely investigated in fruit flies (Jessup et al, 2007;Phillips, 2013;.…”
