fraterculus (Wiedemann) View in CoL
Dacus fraterculus Wiedemann, 1830: 524 View in CoL .
Anastrepha fraterculus: Foote 1982: 48 View in CoL [record]; Peck 1996: 122 [mode of introduction]; Peck et al. 1998: 228 [introduced species]; Causton et al. 2006: 135 [introduced species].
Distribution. Introduced ( Harper et al. 1989). Nearctic, Neotropical; Galápagos: Champion (ICCDRS), Daphne Major (ICCDRS) , Fernandina, Floreana (ICCDRS), Marchena (ICCDRS), San Cristóbal, Santa Cruz, Seymour (ICCDRS).
Remarks. This is an economically important species in which the larvae feed on healthy fleshy fruit of many species ( Foote 1982; Harper et al. 1989; White & Elson-Harris 1992). Adults from Galápagos were reared from larvae collected from the fruit of ‘Rose Apple’ ( Syzygium jambos (L.) Alston) and are a common pest of guava ( Psidium guajava L.) This species mostly inhabits agricultural zones, but also frequents native areas such as Scalesia forests.
