Espécies de Anastrepha Schiner (Diptera: Tephritidae), seus hospedeiros e parasitóides nos Estados do Acre e Rondônia, Brasil

In March of 2009, samplings of fleshy fruits were accomplished in the States of Acre (counties of Brasileia, Bujari, Capixaba, Epitaciolândia, Rio Branco, Sena Madureira, Senador Guiomard and Xapuri) and in Rondonia (Ariquemes, Candeias do Jamari, Itapua do Oeste, Ouro Preto do Oeste and Porto Velho), aiming to improve the knowledge on diversity of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae), their hosts and parasitoids. The present work constitutes the first record of Anastrepha coronilli Carrejo & Gonzalez (Tephritidae) for the State of Acre and A. coronilli, A. distincta Greene (Tephritidae), and the hymenopteran D. areolatus (Szepligeti) and O. bellus Gahan (Braconidae) for Rondonia.

New records of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae), wild hosts and parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in the Brazilian Amazon

Anastrepha anomala Stone was obtained from Parahancornia amapa (Huber) Ducke (Apocynaceae) fruits, and Anastrepha hastata Stone from Cheiloclinium cognatum (Miers.) (Hippocrateaceae) in the State of Amapá, Brazil. Two braconids, Doryctobracon sp. and Opius bellus Gahan, were reared from the latter fruit fly species. This is the first record of P. amapa as a fruit fly host. C. cognatum is the first host known to A. hastata. Both braconids are also the first records of parasitoids for this species.
