“…Such marked differences in host use patterns have been documented for a complex of cryptic species of A. fraterculus (Aluja et al 2003b), and it would therefore be worthwhile to determine whether there is evidence for divergence within A. obliqua.…”

“…During the past 4 yr, exports to the United States have increased by 45% with expected future yearly returns ϾUS$350 Ð 400 million (http:// sagarpa.gob.mx). In Mé xico, guavas are mainly attacked by Anastrepha striata (Schiner) and Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Aluja et al 1987(Aluja et al , 2003bSivinski et al 2000Sivinski et al , 2004; however, quarantine restrictions include Mexican fruit ßy, Anastrepha ludens (Loew); Anastrepha serpentina (Wiedemann); and Anastrepha obliqua (Maquart) as species of concern in guava export protocols from Mé xico to the United States (http://www.senasica.gob.mx).…”

This study examined whether economically important fruit fly species Anastrepha ludens (Loew), Anastrepha serpentina (Wiedemann), and Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) (Diptera: Tephritidae) may opportunistically exploit guavas, Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae), growing near preferred natural hosts. We collected 3,459 kg of guavas and 895 kg of other known host species [sour orange, Citrus aurantium L.; grapefruit, Citrus paradisi Macfadyen; mango, Mangifera indica L.; white sapote, Casimiroa edulis La Llave and Lex.; sapote, Pouteria sapota (Jacq.); sapodilla, Manilkara zapota L.; and wild plum, Spondias purpurea L. and Spondias mombin L.] along an altitudinal gradient over a 4-yr period (2006-2009). Plants were growing in sympatry in 23 localities where the guavas are usually infested in the state of Veracruz, M6xico. The guava samples yielded 20,341 Anastrepha spp. pupae in total (overall mean, 5.88 pupae per kg of fruit). Confirming previous reports, Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) and Anastrepha striata (Schiner) were found heavily infesting guavas in Veracruz. Importantly, although we did not find evidence that A. ludens and A. serpentina are able to attack this valuable commodity, we document for the first time in the agriculturally important state of Veracruz that P. guajava is an alternative natural host plant of A. obliqua. We recovered two fruit in the mango-growing locality of la Vibora, Tlalixcoyan, that harbored larvae of A. striata and A. obliqua. This finding has important practical implications for management of A. obliqua. Over the entire altitudinal gradient, when individual fruit infestation was examined, a dynamic pattern of species dominance was unveiled with guavas growing below 800 m above sea level mainly attacked by A. striata and a progressive replacement with increasing altitude by A. fraterculus. Interestingly, most individual fruit examined (97%) harbored a single species of fruit fly, a finding that may be taken as evidence of competitive displacement among sympatric species of fruit flies. Based on this study and previously published work by us on this topic, we conclude that literature reports indicating that A. ludens and A. serpentina infest guavas under field conditions should be questioned.

“…Both morphological and mitochondrial DNA phylogenies have shown that this is the largest species group in Anastrepha (McPheron et al 1999, Norrbom et al 1999b) and that it is the most derived (Norrbom et al 1999b). Furthermore, A. fraterculus, formerly thought to be a single, wideranging species, is now believed to form a group of cryptic species with subtle morphological, genetic, and behavioral differences (Steck 1991, Selivon et al 2001, Aluja et al 2003. A similar case of cryptic speciation may be occurring among populations of A. ludens, another member of the fraterculus species group (Silva et al 2001).…”

“…Nevertheless in some regions of the world, its importance on citrus crop is discussed. Aluja et al (2003), for example, showed that A. fraterculus had problems developing in fruits of C. sinensis cultivar 'Valencia' and C. paradisi cultivar 'Rubi' in laboratory studies carried out in Veracruz, Mexico. In Brazil, Malavasi et al (1994) and Salles (1995) (Table 2), represents the first record of this genus in the South region of Brazil.…”
