[Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) in the Semi-Arid Region of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil: host plants and infestation index]
Neotropical Entomology 34 (6), 889-894
Abstract: Fruit flies were collected in traps and also reared from fruits in the semi-arid of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, from January 1999 to December 2000. Ten fruit fly species were obtained: Anastrepha alveata Stone, A. dissimilis Stone, A. distincta Greene, A. montei Lima, A. obliqua (Macquart), A. pickeli Lima, A. sororcula Zucchi, A. zenildae Zucchi, Anastrepha sp. aff. pickeli, and Ceratitis capitata (Wied.). Seventeen out of the 41 fruit tree species sampled were infested at least by one fruit fly species. New host records are: A. sororcula from Spondias sp., A. zenildae from Spondias sp., West Indian cherry (Malpighia emarginata DC.) and kumquat (Fortunella sp.), Anastrepha sp. aff. pickeli from Manihot glaziovii Muell. and C. capitata from Spondias tuberosa Arruda, Crateva tapia L.and Ziziphus joazeiro Mart. The main host plants for Anastrepha spp. were Z. joazeiro, Spondias sp. and guava (Psidium guajava L.) and for C. capitata was red coat plum (Spondias purpurea L.). The most infested host plant of Anastrepha spp. was Z. joazeiro (67.7 puparia/kg) and by C. capitata was kumquat [Fortunella japonica (Thunb.) (159.1 puparia/kg)].

Foram realizadas coletas de moscas-das-frutas em armadilhas e frutos na região semi-árida do Rio Grande do Norte, de janeiro/1999 a dezembro/2000. Dez espécies foram capturadas: Anastrepha alveata Stone, A. dissimilis Stone, A. distincta Greene, A. montei Lima, A. obliqua (Macquart), A. pickeli Lima, A. sororcula Zucchi, A. zenildae Zucchi, Anastrepha sp. aff. pickeli e Ceratitis capitata (Wied). Das 41 espécies de fruteiras amostradas, os frutos de 17 espécies estavam infestados por pelo menos uma espécie de moscas-das-frutas. Os novos registros de hospedeiros são: A. sororcula em cajarana (Spondias sp.), A. zenildae em cajarana, acerola (Malpighia emarginata DC.) e kunquat (Fortunella sp.), Anastrepha sp. aff. pickeli em maniçoba (Manihot glaziovii Muell.) e C. capitata em umbu (Spondias tuberosa Arruda), trapia (Crateva tapia L.) e juá (Ziziphus joazeiro Mart.).Os principais hospedeiros de Anastrepha spp. foram juá, cajarana e goiaba (Psidium guajava L.) e de C. capitata foi a serigüela (Spondias purpurea L.). O hospedeiro mais infestado pelas espécies de Anastrepha foi o juá (67,7 pupários/kg) e por C. capitata foi o kunquat [Fortunella japonica (Thunb.) (159,1 pupários/kg)].
