The studies on fruit flies have been neglected in the Amazon region. Only 16 spe- 
cies (Zucchi, 1988) have been reported for the Brazilian Amazon, and only one record is 
known for the Peruvian Amazon (Saravia & Freidberg, 1988). However, about 150 spe- 
cies have been registered for the Neotropical region (Maddison & Bartlett, 1989). 
This paper deals with Anastrepha species collected in five localities of the Brazi- 
lian and Peruvian Amazon regions. The species cited herein were obtained from larvae in 
fruits of nine species of host plants (five families).

Comments 
Five species of Anastrepha were collected in Amazon region (Brazil and Peru) and 
five plant species are being recorded for the first time as Anastrepha host (Table I). A. 
obliqua must be considered as an important pest of Eugenia stipitata. However, a few 
specimens were collected from Myrciaria dubia in Brazil and no one was found in this 
host in Peru. This is the first record of A. obliqua in Manaus, Brazil. In Peru, A. striata, a 
pest of many plants (Norrbom & Kim, 1988), was exclusively obtained from Psidium 
acutangulatum. A. pallidipennis is only associated to Passifloraceae, but it is not known 
yet to infest the cultivated passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) up to date. This is the first 
occurence of A. pallidipennis in Brazil. A. distincta is a well-known pest of Inga species. 
This is the first reference of A. leptozona and A. pallidipennis in Peru. A. obliqua (as A. 
mombinpraeoptans ), A. distincta and A. striata had already been reported from the Nor- 
theastern region of Peru by Korytkowski & Ojeda (1968). Yet, these authors, in 1969, 
registered A. fraterculus in Bagua and Aramengo, "Departamento de Amazonas", but 
these localities are not really situated in the Peruvian Amazon. In truth A. striata was the 
first record of an Anastrepha species for the Peruvian Amazon, in the Manu National 
Park, "Departamento de Madre de Dios" (Saravia & Freidberg, 1988).
