Central Bangka Regency is one of central orange production in Bangka Belitung Islands Province. One of the important pests of sweet orange plants is fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae). This research aimed to study the diversity of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) on sweet orange plantations in Central Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The fruit flies were collected using Lynfield traps which installed in three villages producing sweet oranges in Central Bangka Regency. The types of attractants used to trap male fruit flies are methyl eugenol and cue lure. The fruit flies collected during the study were 4795 individuals, 3 genera, and 14 species. Fruit flies collected from the methyl eugenol were different compared to those collected using lure attractant trap. Most species (13 species) of fruit fly were found in Terentang village, and the rest was same (9 species). Bactrocera carambolae and B. dorsalis were the dominant fruit fly species in the three research locations., Kabupaten Bangka Tengah merupakan salah satu kabupaten penghasil jeruk manis di Provinsi Kepulauan Bangka Belitung. Salah satu hama penting tanaman jeruk manis adalah lalat buah (Diptera: Tephritidae). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari keanekaragaman Lalat buah (Diptera: Tephritidae) di pertanaman jeruk manis di Kabupaten Bangka Tengah, Bangka Belitung. Lalat buah dikoleksi dengan perangkap Lynfield trap yang dipasang di tiga desa penghasil jeruk manis di Kabupaten Bangka Tengah. Jenis atraktan yang digunakan untuk memerangkap lalat buah jantan yaitu metil eugenol dan cue lure. Lalat buah yang terkoleksi selama penelitian sebanyak 4795 individu, 3 genus, dan 14 spesies. Lalat buah yang dikoleksi dari perangkap atraktan metil eugenol teridentifikasi berbeda dengan lalat buah yang terperangkap dengan atraktan cue lure. Spesies lalat buah paling banyak ditemukan di desa Terentang sebanyak 13 spesies, dan di desa lain masing-masing ditemukan 9 spesies lalat buah. Bactrocera carambolae dan B. dorsalis merupakan spesies lalat buah dominan di tiga lokasi penelitian.

Diversity of fruit flies (Diptera: tephritidae) attracted by me lure in CSG-BG germplasm carambolae plantation. Germplasm Garden (KPN) Cibinong Science Center-Botanical Garden (CSC-BG) is one of the gardens that conserve and utilizes Indonesian local germplasm, one of which is carambolae. The current problem in KPN is the attack of fruit flies (Bactrocera spp.). This study was conducted to determine the diversity of fruit flies in the KPN carambola plantation area. A total of eight traps were placed randomly in the plantation area. Each trap contained 1 mL of methyl eugenol pheromone solution. Identification of fruit flies was carried out based on three morphological differences, they were wings, abdomen, and hind legs. There were 317 fruit flies collected and separated into three species, namely Bactrocera carambolae, B. papayae, dan B. umbrosa, of which B. carambolae had a dominance index of 0.74 and abundance index of 85%. Data on the types of fruit flies can be used as primary data to determine the preparation of pest prevention efforts.

Bactrocera (Bactrocera) carambolae Drew & Hancock Bactrocera (Bactrocera) carambolae Drew & Hancock, 1994: 11; Norrbom et al., 1998: 89; Drew & Romig, 2013: 61. Holotype in BMNH. Common name: Carambola Fruit Fly. Definition: Face fulvous with a pair of medium-sized oval black spots; postpronotal lobes and notopleura yellow; scutum black with pale lateral margins; broad parallel-sided lateral postsutural yellow vittae ending at or behind ia. seta; medial postsutural yellow vitta absent; anepisternal (mesopleural) stripe reaching midway between anterior margin of notopleuron and anterior npl. seta dorsally; scutellum yellow with a narrow dark basal band; legs with femora fulvous and with a large preapical dark spot on outer surface of fore femora in some specimens, tibiae dark fuscous; wing with cells bc and c colourless, microtrichia in outer corner of call c only, a narrow fuscous costal band overlapping R 2+3 and expanding slightly beyond apex of this vein across apex of R 4+5, a narrow fuscous anal streak, supernumerary lobe of medium development; abdominal terga III-V orange-brown with a dark ‘T’ pattern consisting of a narrow transverse band across anterior margin of tergum III that widens to cover lateral margins, a medium width medial longitudinal band over all three terga, a dark rectangular pattern on anterolateral corners of tergum IV, anterolateral corners of tergum V dark fuscous, ceromata on tergum V orange-brown, abdominal sterna dark fuscous to black. Distribution: Andaman Islands, Southern Thailand, Southern Vietnam, Peninsular Malaysia, East Malaysia, Indonesia. Adventive in French Guyana, Guyana, Surinam and NE Brazil. Recently recorded from Cambodia and Bangladesh (Leblanc et al., 2015; 2019). Hosts: A major pest species with a preference for Averrhoa carambola L. See Allwood et al. (1999) for recorded host plants. The host range in Surinam and Guyana, a region into which B. carambolae was introduced, matches that recorded in South-East Asia (van Sauers-Muller, 2005). Attractant: Methyl eugenol. Comments: Generally, B. carambolae can be separated from the other dorsalis complex pest species in possessing the costal band broader apically and a broad medial longitudinal black band on abdominal terga III-V. Based on the mitochondrial genes COI and ND5, B. carambolae is separate from B. dorsalis, B. occipitalis and B. papayae (Drew & Romig, 2013). It also possesses distinct chemical components in the male pheromones (Drew & Hancock, 1994)., Published as part of Drew, R. A. I. & Hancock, D.

This study aimed to record the entry of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in the state of Amapá, Brazil, and discuss the possible reasons for its non-establishment. Fruit sampling was carried out in three municipalities (Macapá, Porto Grande and Santana) and fruits from other units of the federation were purchased at marketing points in Macapá. A survey was also carried out with McPhail and Jackson traps in four municipalities (Macapá, Mazagão, Porto Grande and Santana). Specimens of C. capitata were captured in McPhail and Jackson traps in the municipalities of Macapá and Santana. Specimens were also obtained from guavas from the state of São Paulo, acquired in a commercial establishment in Macapá. We argued that the low incidence of C. capitata and its non-establishment in the region may be due to unfavorable climatic conditions for the species.

The depth of the pupation is one of the important factors in the success of fruit flies to become imago. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of soil depth on survival, normality dan development time of adult interspecific hybrids of Bactrocera carambolae (Drew & Hancock) and B. dorsalis (Hendel). The experiments were carried out in a laboratory consisting of seven depths of pupation treatments (4 cm, 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, 50 cm, and 60 cm) with four replications. Soil depth had a significant, negative effect on the survival of the emergence and development time of B. dorsalis and B. carambolae hybrids. The emergence rate was found to decrease with the increase in pupation depth. The higher survival of the emergence of the hybrid occurred at a depth of 4 cm (95% ± 1.91) and 10 cm (86% ± 2.58), while the lower survival occurred at a depth of 50 cm (12% ± 1.63) and 60 cm (5% ± 3.79). Normal imagoes were found in all soil depths except in 60 cm depth, where all imagoes had abnormal morphology. Means of development time ranged from 8.88 to 10.63 days. The depth of pupation influences the duration of pupae development. The means of development time at a depth of 4–40 cm was similar, but at a depth of 50 cm and 60 cm, a significantly longer time of development were observed. for more effective fruit fly control, this study suggests burying rotten fruit in the soil at a depth of 50 cm or more as a preventive measure for the development of fruit flies.

Os insetos-praga representam uma importante fonte de perdas agrícolas em todo o globo. Situação que é maximizada pela introdução de espécies fora da sua área natural de ocorrência, levando os países a elaborarem listas de quarentena a fim de proteger sua produção interna e não comprometerem suas exportações de produtos agrícolas. Nesse sentido, essa pesquisa busca revisar e analisar o potencial invasivo e riscos da Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock 1994 (Diptera:Tephritidae), importante praga da fruticultura mundial e praga quarentenária presente no Brasil. Bactrocera carambolae é uma espécie de mosca-das-frutas oriunda do sudeste asiático e que infesta uma grande diversidade de frutíferas, tanto nativas, como de interesse econômico. No Brasil, seu registro inicial é datado de 1996 no estado do Amapá, e atualmente além desse estado, foi reportada nos estados do Pará e Roraima. No país já infesta 21 hospedeiros, entre eles acerola, carambola, caju, goiaba, manga e tangerina, e apresenta potencial de adentrar mercados agrícolas importantes, como o polo de fruticultura irrigada do Vale do São Francisco. Bactrocera carambolae representa sérios riscos para a fruticultura brasileira, principalmente pela potencial exclusão de mercados para exportação de frutas. Dessa forma, ações de controle e erradicação dessa praga precisam ser mantidas e aperfeiçoadas, buscando-se evitar severos danos socioeconômicos para a cadeia produtiva de frutas no Brasil.

Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock é uma espécie exótica considerada praga quarentenária presente no Brasil, com distribuição restrita aos estados de Amapá e Roraima. O conhecimento dos diferentes aspectos da sua biologia nas condições brasileiras ainda é limitado. Este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar a fecundidade e longevidade de fêmeas de B. carambolae, obtidas em dieta artificial, em condições de laboratório. O experimento foi realizado na Embrapa Amapá, onde foram selecionados 20 casais de B. carambolae recém-emergidos, da geração F3. Cada casal foi acondicionado em uma gaiola de plástico contendo dieta alimentar, água destilada e um dispositivo artificial de oviposição e mantidas em sala climatizada (26 ± 1°C, 60 ± 10% U. R. e fotofase 12 h). Diariamente era realizada a contagem dos ovos depositados em cada dispositivo. O período de sobrevivência apresentou média de 90,70 ± 9,97 dias e longevidade máxima de 150 dias. A duração média do período pré-oviposição foi 25,15 ± 3,54 dias e do período de oviposição foi 62,73 ± 7,84 dias. A fecundidade foi variável ao longo do tempo, apresentando pico de oviposição no 28º dia. O número médio de ovos por fêmea foi 1.088,26 ± 167,82. Esses resultados sugerem que B. carambolae parece utilizar a alta fecundidade e a longevidade como estratégia reprodutiva.

Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock (Diptera: Tephritidae), native of Southeast Asia, is present in Brazil but restricted to Amapá, Pará and Roraima, where it has quarantine pest status. The possible dispersion to other fruit producing regions of Brazil could cause damages, including for exportation, due to quarantine restrictions imposed by fruit importing countries. The objective of this work was to describe the biological parameters and calculate the fertility life table of B. carambolae on grape (Vitis vinifera L.) and acerola (Malpighia emarginata DC.). The experiment was conducted in the laboratory under controlled conditions. The mean number of punctures and the mean number of eggs per female on grapes were 1.48 ± 0.05 and 9.87 ± 0.36, respectively. The mean number puparia per fruit was 0.1 ± 0.02 (grape) and 0.5 ± 0.10 (acerola). The pupal viability was 82.4% (grape) and 70.6% (acerola). The mean time ± SE of one generation, in days, was 25.8 ± 1.10 (grape) and 19.7 ± 0.21 (acerola). The mean fecundity was 1663.8 ± 501.01 (grape) and 206.9 ± 26.21 (acerola) with eggs viability of 5.6% (grape) and 12.5% (acerola). The mean longevity, in days, was 77.3 ± 12.13 on grape and 82.4 ± 4.24 on acerola. The study found that B. carambolae completes its biological cycle on grape and on acerola leaving offspring. © 2019 Sociedade Brasileira de Entomologia. Published by Elsevier Editora Ltda.

Fruit flies, Bactrocera spp., are the primary pests on chili plants (Capsicum annuum Linnaeus). A safe and effective control uses traps combined with an attractant from basil leaf oil (Ocimum basilicum Linnaeus). This study aimed to determine the attractiveness of basil leaf oil against fruit flies at several different doses. This research was carried out in Organic Chemistry Laboratory STIFARM Padang, in Tabek Patah Tanah Datar area West Sumatra, and in the Pest Disease Observation and Development of Biological Agents Laboratory, Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, from June to August 2020. The treatment was in the form of different doses of basil leaf oil, which was 0,5 ml per trap, 1.0 ml per trap, 1.5 ml per trap, 2.0 ml per trap, and 2.5 ml per trap. The experiment used a completely randomized design with five treatments and three replications. This study found two species of fruit flies around chili plants, namely Bactrocera papayae and Bactrocera carambolae, which were dominated by male B. papayae. The traps containing 1.5 ml of basil leaf oil attracted the most fruit flies. Temperature and humidity significantly affect the abundance of individual fruit flies.

Host plant preference amongst several fruit species was studied for two fruit fly species i.e. Bactrocera carambolae (Drew & Hancock) and Bactrocera dorsalis (Drew & Hancock), which both belong to B. dorsalis species complex. Both fruit fly species are known to be polyphagous and cause significant economic losses as pests of fruit crops. The aim of this research was to assess the host range of these major pests in Indonesia. The research was conducted at the Entomology Laboratory and Insect Specimen Collection Laboratory, Indonesian Center for Agriculture Biotechnology and Genetic Resource Research and Development, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia from June 2011 to March 2012. Comparative host preference for both species was studied with regard to malaya varieties of star fruit (Averrhoa carambolae), manalagi varieties of mango (Mangifera indica), guava aka water apple (Psidium guajava), citra water guava (Eugenia aquae), jamaica bol guava (Eugenia malaccenensis), and california papaya (Carica papaya). Our results suggest the strongest preference for malaya star fruit by B. carambolae followed by manalagi mango; and for california papaya followed by manalagi mango by B. dorsalis. The study also found that welahan variety star fruit is least preferred by both species of fruit fly.

Males of some species included in the Bactrocera dorsalis complex are strongly attracted to methyl eugenol (ME) (1,2-dimethoxy-4-(2-propenyl) benzene), a natural compound occurring in a variety of plant species. ME feeding of males of the B. dorsalis complex is known to enhance their mating competitiveness. Within B. dorsalis, recent studies show that Asian and African populations of B. dorsalis are sexually compatible, while populations of B. dorsalis and Bactrocera carambolae are relatively incompatible. The objectives of this study were to examine whether ME feeding by males affects mating compatibility between Asian and African populations of B. dorsalis and ME feeding reduces male mating incompatibility between B. dorsalis (Asian population) and B. carambolae. The data confirmed that Asian and African populations of B. dorsalis are sexually compatible for mating and showed that ME feeding only increased the number of matings. Though ME feeding also increased the number of matings of B. dorsalis (Asian population) and B. carambolae males but the sexual incompatibility between both species was not reduced by treatment with ME. These results conform to the efforts resolving the biological species limits among B. dorsalis complex and have implications for fruit fly control programs in fields and horticultural trade.

Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock (Diptera: Tephritidae) é uma espécie nativa do sudeste Asiático, presente no Brasil, onde está restrita aos estados do Amapá e Roraima recebendo status de praga quarentenária presente. Sua possível dispersão para outras regiões do Brasil poderia colocar em risco a produção de frutas com grandes prejuízos. Dentre as frutíferas cultivadas no Brasil, destacam-se a videira amplamente cultivada nas regiões Nordeste e Sul e, recentemente, a aceroleira nas regiões Norte e Nordeste. Neste contexto, este trabalho objetivou conhecer a biologia de B. carambolae em uva ‘Itália’(Vitis vinifera) e em acerola (Malpighia emarginata). O experimento foi conduzido no laboratório de Entomologia da EMBRAPA Amapá. Seis grupos de 20 casais oriundos da criação de laboratório, mantida em dieta artificial, foram acondicionados em gaiolas de plástico e expostos, cada um, a dez bagas de cv. Itália, por três horas e meia (11h às 14h30min), ao longo de nove dias. Outros seis grupos de casais nas mesmas condições receberam dez acerolas. Foram registrados o número de puncturas, de ovos viáveis e inviáveis em uva. Nos dois frutos avaliou-se o número, peso e viabilidade dos pupários e aduração dos estágios imaturos. Com os adultos emergidos de cada espécie de fruto, formaram-se casais dos quais se observou fecundidade, fertilidade e longevidade. Por baga, foi constatado, em média ± EP, 5,9 ± 0,22 puncturas, 39,5 ± 1,44 ovos e 0,4 ± 0,06 ovos viáveis. Os ovos foram depositados em grupos. A média de pupários por fruto foi de 0,1 ± 0,02 (uva) e 0,5 ± 0,10 (acerola) com peso médio de 11 ± 0,7 mg e 8 ± 0,3 mg, respectivamente. A viabilidade pupal foi de 82,4% (uva) e 70,6% (acerola). O tempo médio ± EP de uma geração, em dias, foi de 25,8 ± 1,10 (uva) e 19,7 ± 0,21 (acerola). A fecundidade média foi de 1.663,8 ± 501,01 (uva) e 206,9 ± 26,21 (acerola) com viabilidade de 5,63% (uva) e 12,47% (acerola). A longevidade média, em dias, foi semelhante entre os hospedeiros com 81,9 ± 9,97 em uva e 76,0 ± 0,19 em acerola. A taxa liquida de reprodução (Ro) foi, 1,2 em uva e 39,2 em acerola e a razão finita de aumento (λ) 1,01 (uva) e 1,20 (acerola). Verificou-se que B. carambolae completa o desenvolvimento em uva ‘Itália’ e em acerola e deixa prole, podendo ambos ser considerados hospedeiros da espécie. No entanto, o potencial de crescimento da espécie nos dois hospedeiros é baixa. Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock (Diptera: Tephritidae), native to southestern Asia, has its distribution limited, in Brazil, to the states of Amapa and Roraima, having the status of quarantinable pest. Its possible dissemination to other Brazilian regions could put the fruit production at risk, with significant economical losses. The grape, widely cultivated in Northeastern and Southern Brazil, and more recently the acerola, in Northern and Northeastern regions, are commercially important fruit in Brazil. In this paper, we studied the biology of B. carambolae in ‘Itália’ grape (Vitis vinifera) and in acerola (Malpighia emarginata) in laboratory. Six groups of 20 couples from laboratory colony were maintained on artificial diet and put into plastic cages. Each couple was exposed to ten 'Italia' grapes, for 3.5 hours (11 am to 02:30 pm), during nine days. In a similar way, other six couple groups received ten acerolas. We recorded the number of punctures on fruits, viable and unviable eggs on grape. The number, weight and viability of puparia and the duration of immature stages were analyzedin both fruits. Couples emerged from each fruit species were used to evaluate fecundity, fertility and longevity. Per fruit, we recorded in average (± SE), 5.9 ± 0.22 punctures, 39.5 ± 1.44 eggs, and 0.4 ± 0.06 viable eggs. Eggs were laid in groups. The mean number of puparia per fruit was 0.1 ± 0.02 (grape) and 0.5 ± 0.10 (acerola) with mean weight of 11 ± 0.7 mg and 8 ± 0.3 mg, respectively. The pupal viability was 82.4% (grape) and 70.6% (acerola). The mean duration ± SE of one generation (days), was 25.8 ± 1.10 (grape) and 19.7 ± 0.21 (acerola). The mean fecundity was 1,663.8 ± 501.01 (grape) and 206.9 ± 26.21 (acerola), with viability of 5.63% (grape) and 12.47% (acerola). The mean longevity (days) was similar between hosts, 81.9 ± 9.97 in grape and 76.0 ± 0.19 in acerola. The net reproduction rate (Ro) was 1.2 in grape and 39.2 in acerola, and the finite growth rates (λ) 1.01 (grape) and 1.20 (acerola). We verified that B. carambolae completes its development in both ‘Italia’ grape and in acerola, producing offspring. Both species host this pest, but with a low spreading potential.

A mosca-da-carambola (Bactrocera carambolae) é uma praga quarentenária presente no Brasil, com distribuição restrita aos estados do Amapá, Pará e Roraima. Com o objetivo de determinar o número de oviposições e de ovos por oviposição de B. carambolae em frutos de carambola (Averrhoa carambola), em condições de laboratório, foram selecionados 30 casais de B. carambolae, em idade reprodutiva, provenientes da criação mantida no Laboratório de Proteção de Plantas da Embrapa Amapá. Cada casal foi disposto em uma gaiola contendo um fruto com uma face exposta para oviposição e mantidos em sala climatizada (26 ± 1°C; 70 ± 10% U.R.; fotofase de 12 h). Após 48 h, os frutos foram retirados e observados sob estereomicroscópio para quantificação do número de oviposições e do número de ovos em cada uma delas. Houve registro de 54 oviposições e 695 ovos. O número médio de ovos depositados por fêmea foi 33,09 ± 4,49 em 48h. O número médio de oviposições por fêmea foi 2,57 ± 0,27 em 48h. O número médio de ovos em cada oviposição foi 12,87 ± 1,13. Foi possível concluir que B. carambolae não oviposita em frutos verdes de carambola, a maioria das fêmeas realiza múltiplas oviposições em um mesmo fruto e a oviposição é realizada em grupos de ovos.

This work was carried out to evaluate the infestation of fruits of Eugenia stipitata McVaugh (Myrtaceae) by fruit flies in the state of Amapá, Brazil. There was 95% infestation of the green and ripe fruits. However, infestation (puparia/fruit) was higher in ripe fruits than green fruits. Four species of Tephritidae and four species of Lonchaeidae were obtained. Bactrocera carambolae (Tephritidae) predominated in ripe fruits. There was no difference in infestation by Anastrepha spp. (Tephritidae) and Neosilba spp. (Lonchaeidae) between green and ripe fruits. Este trabalho foi realizado com o intuito de avaliar a infestação de frutos de Eugenia stipitata McVaugh (Myrtaceae) por moscas frugívoras no estado do Amapá, Brasil. Exatamente 95% dos frutos verdes e maduros apresentaram infestação. Porém, a infestação (pupários/fruto) foi maior em frutos maduros que em frutos verdes. Foram obtidas quatro espécies de Tephritidae e quatro de Lonchaeidae. Bactrocera carambolae (Tephritidae) predominou em frutos maduros. Não houve diferença na infestação por Anastrepha spp. (Tephritidae) e Neosilba spp. (Lonchaeidae) entre frutos verdes e maduros.

Males of Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock (Diptera: Tephritidae) are strongly attracted to methyl eugenol (ME) (1,2-dimethoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene), a natural compound occurring in variety of plant species. ME-feeding is known to enhance male B. carambolae mating competitiveness 3days after feeding. Enhanced male mating competitiveness due to ME-feeding can increase the effectiveness of sterile insect technique (SIT) manifolds. However, the common methods for emergence and holding fruit flies prior to field releases do not allow the inclusion of any ME feeding treatment after fly emergence. Therefore this study was planned to assess the effects of ME-aromatherapy in comparison with ME feeding on male B. carambolae mating competitiveness as aromatherapy is pragmatic for fruit flies emergence and holding facilities. Effects of ME application by feeding or by aromatherapy for enhanced mating competitiveness were evaluated 3d after treatments in field cages. ME feeding and ME aromatherapy enhanced male mating competitiveness as compared to untreated males. Males treated with ME either by feeding or by aromatherapy showed similar mating success but mating success was significantly higher than that of untreated males. The results are discussed in the context of application of ME by aromatherapy as a pragmatic approach in a mass-rearing facility and its implications for effectiveness of SIT.

As moscas-das-frutas (Diptera: Tephritidae) estão entre as principais pragas da agricultura mundial, sendo motivo de preocupação especialmente para países tropicais em desenvolvimento, os quais têm na fruticultura um importante componente de sua balança comercial. Esta revisão tem por objetivo compilar informações geradas nos últimos 10 anos sobre moscas-das-frutasno estado do Amapá, com ênfase em distribuição, hospedeiros e parasitoides. Além disso, visa indicar as prioridades de pesquisa para os próximos anos.No estado do Amapá, os estudos com moscas-das-frutas e seus inimigos naturais apresentaram, nos últimos anos, significativo crescimento. Atualmente, além Bactrocera carambolae, estão assinaladas para o Estado 34 espécies de Anastrepha. Anastrepha distincta, Anastrepha coronilli, Anastrepha fraterculus e Anastrepha striata são as espécies mais amplamente distribuídas. Estão assinaladas para o estado 37 espécies vegetais hospedeiras (pertencentes a 19 famílias botânicas) de moscas-das-frutas. Anastrepha striata é espécie mais polífaga, estando associada a 25 hospedeiros. Nove espécies de parasitoides específicos de moscas-das-frutas estão registrados, sendo Doryctobracon areolatuso mais abundante. Apesar do significativo avanço, novos estudos sobre biologia, genética, ecologia, distribuição e dispersão populacional, bem como fatores reguladores dos níveis populacionais são necessários, com vista a desenvolver estratégias de controle menos onerosas com efeitos não nocivos ao ambiente.

Summary Seven plant species are reported for the first time as hosts of Bactrocera carambolae in Brazil. Eugenia stipitata and Pouteria macrophylla, native to the Amazon region, have already been reported as hosts of the carambola fruit fly. The largest number of specimens was obtained from fruits of Averrhoa carambola and Psidium guajaua.

The diversity and abundance of Dacinae fruit flies of the family Tephritidae were studied at Pantai Melawi (Bachok) and Selising (Pasir Puteh), Kelantan. Male fruit flies were collected in the morning by using the attractants methyl eugenol and cue-lure. Three species (Bactrocera carambolae, Bactrocera papayae and Bactrocera melastomatos) were present in both localities, with B. papayae and B. melastomatos being more abundant in Pantai Melawi and B. carambolae more abundant in Selising. Bactrocera caudata occurred only in Pantai Melawi while Bactrocera umbrosa only in Selising. The two localities supported different species of Dacinae fruit flies and different density of the common species

Este trabalho teve por objetivo identificar as espécies de moscas frugívoras (Tephritidae e Lonchaeidae), seus hospedeiros e parasitoides na Ilha de Santana, Estado do Amapá, Amazônia brasileira. Adicionalmente, objetivou estudar a exploração hospedeira por Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock. Foram realizadas coletas de frutos de diversas espécies vegetais, a cada 30 dias, no período de janeiro a julho de 2015. Foram coletadas 149 amostras de frutos (3.142 frutos, 76,3 Kg), pertencentes a 20 espécies vegetais (9 nativas e 11 introduzidas) de 13 famílias botânicas. Houve infestação por moscas frugívoras em 86 amostras (11 espécies de 8 famílias botânicas). Foram obtidos espécimes de cinco espécies de Tephritidae, quatro de Lonchaeidae e três de parasitoides Braconidae. As espécies de moscas frugívoras mais importantes na Ilha de Santana são: B. carambolae, devido sua expressão quarentenária; e Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) e Anastrepha striata Schiner, pelo fato de infestarem espécies vegetais de importância socioeconômica local. Os hospedeiros Averrhoa carambola (Oxalidaceae), Eugenia uniflora (Myrtaceae), Malpighia emarginata (Malpighiaceae) e Psidium guajava (Myrtaceae) são responsáveis pela manutenção da população de B. carambolae.
