MARTINEZ-ALAVA, Javier O. et al. Description of a new species of the Anastrepha curvicauda species group (Diptera: Tephritidae). rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.2, e1451. Epub 29-Out-2020. ISSN 0123-4226. https://doi.org/10.31910/rudca.v23.n2.2020.1451.
Fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha are considered pests of great economic importance because they do not only cause direct damage to the fruit production, but also due to the quarantine restrictions imposed to fruit exporting countries. Therefore, preparing descriptions and generating taxonomic identification tools that allow an appropriate and accurate recognition of the species of agricultural importance are basic plant health activities in the fruit producing and exporting countries. In this work, we describe and illustrate Anastrepha ligiae, a new species of the Anastrepha curvicauda group captured with McPhail traps in the municipalities of Albán and Anolaima (Cundinamarca) and Vélez (Santander), Colombia, and reared from papaya fruit Vasconcellea pubescens A. DC. (Caricaceae). V. pubescens is the first time recorded as a host plant of the genus Anastrepha.
