FRUGIVOROUS FLIES (Diptera: Tephritidae and Lonchaeidae) INTERACTIONS WITH PARASITOIDS AND NEW HOSTS

Fruits of two cultivars guava, Psidium guajava L., (‘Tailandesa’ and ‘Kumagai’) garlic passion fruit, Passiflora tenuifila Killip were collected to evaluate the infestation co-infestation frugivorous flies associated parasitoids new hosts. Five species Tephritoidea recovered in Tailandesa guavas, three Kumagai guavas fruit. This is first report a fly infesting P. tenuifila. Individualization fruit samples was used determine between Anastrepha spp., Ceratitis capitata Neosilba spp. each There fly/parasitoid association for Doryctobracon areolatus Lopheucoila anastrephae with fraterculus guavas. Infestation indices emergence rate demonstrated that are hosts capable withstanding an index ? 50 pupae/fruit have 75%. The ability some maintain sustain population at high levels may interfere pest management.
