Diagnosis. Anastrepha aliesaeis most similar to other species of the pseudoparallelagroup, from which it can be distinguished by lacking acrostichal setae. It further differs from A. amnisStone, A. dissimilisStone, A. ethalea(Walker), A. limaeStone, A. nigripalpisHendeland A. pastranaiBlanchardin having the scutum mostly nonmicrotrichose, its aculeus tip is more serrate than in A. dissimilisand A. nigripalpis, with smaller serrations than in A. ethalea, and its terminalia length differs from most of these species (oviscape 1.01–1.27 times mesonotum length in A. aliesaevs. greater than 1.20 in A. amnisand A. nigripalpisand less than 0.90 inthe other species). The hooklike dorsobasal denticles of the eversible membrane are in a less elongate pattern than in A. amnis, are more numerous than in A. limaeand less numerous than in A. nigripalpis. The scutellum is microtrichose, versus mostly nonmicrotrichose in A. chiclayaeGreene, which also has shorter terminalia (oviscape less than 0.90 times mesonotum length) and a relatively broader aculeus tip. The aculeus tip in A. aliesaeis more serrate than in A. asetaocelataTigrero & Salas, A. dryasStone, A. guevaraiNorrbom, the eversible membrane has fewer dorsobasal denticles than in A. consobrina(Loew), and the terminalia are shorter than in all four of those species. In the key of Zucchi et al. (2011) A. aliesaeruns to A. dissimilis, A. ethalea, or A. limae, from which it differs as indicated above, or to A. mixtaZucchior A. sodalisStone, from which it differs in lacking acrostichal setae and having the aculeus more extensively serrate and lacking a constriction. Four sequences of A. aliesae, from two adultspecimens from Adjoemakondre ( MT672194, MT672195) and two from Coebitie ( MT672196, MT672197), Suriname, were included in the COI barcode analysis of Moore et al. (in prep.). There are three unique sequences. The four sequences of A. aliesaeformed a separate cluster (i.e., with a COI barcode gap), with a range in intraspecific K2P distance of 0.0–1.2%. The smallest interspecific K2P distance was 7.0% with A. pastranai.

Etymology.This species is named for Alies Muller, who collected the typeseries as well as most of the other non-Brownsberg specimens of all of the species collected for the Anastrephaproject in Suriname.
Comments.This species is included in the pseudoparallelaspecies group on the basis of its triangular, finely serrate aculeus tip and its Passiflorahost plants. In a preliminary phylogenetic analysis using anchored hybrid enrichment (Wiegmann et al., in prep.), A. aliesaeis clustered with five species of the pseudoparallelagroup. In the COI analysis of Moore et al. (in prep.), the four sequences of A. aliesaeform a cluster grouped with A. nigripalpisHendeland A. pastranaiBlanchard, two other species of the pseudoparallelagroup.
