Fruit infesting tephritids [Dipt.: Tephritidae] and associated parasitoids in Chiapas, Mexico

A total de 1,302 parasitoids representing 8 species and 4 families were recovered from 9,818 fruit fly host fruits sampled. The most common parasitoid species was Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead). Average percent parasitism ranged between 0.44 and 29.23 percent. Parasitoid emergence data indicate that Anastrepha ludens (Loew), A. obliqua (Sein), A. serpentina (Wiedemann), A. striata (Schiner) and Toxotrypana curvicauda (Gerstaecker) were subject to parasitism. We provide information on the population fluctuation of Anastrepha ludens, A. obliqua, A. serpentina, A. distincta (Greene), A. striata, A. fraterculus (Wiedeman), A. chiclayae (Greene), A. montei (Costa Lima), A. leptozona (Hendel) and A. tripunctata (Wulp). Anastrepha ludens and A. obliqua were the most common species, representing 95.3 percent of all fruit fly species caught in McPhail traps
