Diversidade de moscas das frutas (Diptera: Tephritoidea) e seus parasitoides (Hymenoptera) em frutíferas nativas no Parque Nacional da Serra da Bodoquena-MS, Brasil

Abstract

Fruit flies, represented by the families Tephritidae and Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Tephritoidea), are of great interest in several sub-areas of the Biological Sciences, and can be used as model animals for research in biology, ecology, genetics, ethology. This work was carried out in Serra da Bodoquena National Park (PNSB), Brazil, and had as objectives: 1) To know the diversity of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritoidea) and its natural enemies (Hymenoptera) in three pre - established trails for the monitoring of fauna and flora in the PNSB and 2) Verify the percentage of infestation by fruit flies and the percentage of parasitism in the different fruit species in the PNSB and surroundings. In order to obtain fruit flies and their parasitoids, we carried out monthly fruit samplings and, from these, the fruit weed tephthotypes were obtained between January 2017 and February 2018. Exsicates were prepared from the plants entomofaunístico inventory being identified by Dr. Zefa Valdivina and Dr. ngela Sartori. The identification of adults of Tephritidae was performed by Dr. Manoel Uchoa and identification of the species of Lonchaeidae was performed by Dr. Laura Jane Gistloti. In total 11 species of fruit flies were recovered: Nine of Tephritidae (Anastrepha sororcula Anastrepha striata, Anastrepha pseudoparallela, Anastrepha barbeliinii, Anastrepha obliqua, Anastrepha fraterculus, Anastrepha serpentina, Anastrepha elegans and Anastrepha zenildae, and three of the Lonchaeidae: Neosilba certa, Neosilba glaberrima and Neosilba zadolicha. This research reports two new infestation records: "waterí" Chrysophyllum gonocarpum by Anastrepha serpentina, and Anastrepha striata infesting papaya (Jaracatia spinosa), the first Anastrepha barbiellinii recovered from its host fruit Pereskia aculeata in Mato Grosso do Sul. a new host plant record for fruit flies: Eugenia myrcianthes.
