ANASTREPHA EDENTATA AND OTHER FRUIT FLIES (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE) DETECTED ON KEY LARGO, FLORIDA

A concerted effort was made to collect Anastrepha edentata Stone with McPhail traps in native hammock forest of Key Largo over a 2-year period, which yielded the largest collection in over 70 years. The phenology of the fly, based on all known Florida collection records, is illustrated and indicates that the fly is at least bivoltine and probably multivoltine. Fruit (9000 total) obtained from 22 different potential host plants failed to produce adults of A. edentata, and its host remains unknown. Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) and Toxotrypana curvicauda Gerstaecker were also trapped, and A. suspensa was reared from Ximenia americana L. (Olacaceae) for the first time. Comments on Anastrepha interrupta Stone are also included.
