Abstract

Fruit flies and associated parasitoids were reported in native fruit species introduced in the state of Amapá, Brazil. Fruits were collected every 30 days, from January to December, 2012, on three small farms in the municipalities of Mazagão, Porto Grande and Santana. We collected 412 samples (78 species of plants belonging to 32 families, 4554 fruits, 323.4 kg) and obtained 5252 Anastrepha puparia from 107 infested samples (20 plant species from 13 botanical families). We report here the occurrence of 11 species of Anastrepha and five species of parasitoids (4 Braconidae and 1 Figitidae). New hosts for Anastrepha distincta Greene, Anastrepha leptozona Hendel, Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) and Anastrepha serpentina (Wiedemann) were assigned to Brazil.

Resumo

Moscas-das-frutas e parasitoides associados foram reportados em espécies vegetais frutíferas nativas e introduzidas no estado do Amapá, Brasil. Frutos foram coletados a cada 30 dias, de janeiro a dezembro de 2012, em 3 pequenas propriedades agrícolas nos municípios de Mazagão, Porto Grande e Santana. Nós coletamos 412 amostras (78 espécies de plantas pertencentes a 32 famílias, consistindo de 4.554 frutos, pesando 323,4 kg) e obtivemos 5.252 pupários de Anastrepha, a partir de 107 amostras infestadas (20 espécies vegetais de 13 famílias botânicas). Reportamos a ocorrência de 11 espécies de Anastrepha e 5 de parasitoides (4 Braconidae e 1 Figitidae; ambos Hymenoptera). Novos hospedeiros para Anastrepha distincta Greene, Anastrepha leptozona Hendel, Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) e Anastrepha serpentina (Wiedemann) foram documentados para o Brasil.
