Revision of the Anastrepha benjamini species group and the A. pallidipennis complex (Diptera: Tephritidae)

  • The shape of the facial carina in Altastreplia is discussed. Although taxonomically useful, the protrudent form probably occurs by convergence in different species groups. Two species groups in which the carina is usually produced are revised. The belljamini species group includes: belljamini Lima (from southeastern Brazil), gigantea Stone (from Panama), magna, n. sp. (from Colombia and Venezuela), and superj1ua Stone (from Panama). Host data for this group are limited to only one record of benjamilli from a species of Pouteria (Sapotaceae). The pallidipennis complex, which is included in the pseudoparallela species group, is recognized to include: amnis Stone (from southern Brazil and possibly Trinidad), curitis Stone (from Colombia, Peru, and northern Brazil), pallida, n. sp. (from Panama), pallidipennis Greene (from Colombia and Venezuela), and vele::i, n. sp. (from Colombia). These species breed in fruit of Passij10ra (Passifloraceae) (P. ambigua Hems., ligularis Juss., Idtida H.B.K., quadrallgularis L., and seemannii Griseb.). The relationships of these Anastrepliaspecies are discussed, and diagnoses and ill ustrations are provided to permit their identification. A neotype is designated for A. consobrina (Loew), and the identity of this species is clarified.
  • Se discute la forma de la carina de la cara en Anastreplia. Aunque esta caracteristica es util taxonomicamente, probablemente la forma producida ocurre por convergencia en varios grupos de especies. Se revisan dos grupos de especies que normalmente tiene una carina producida. EI grupo benjamini incluye: benjamini Lima (del sureste de Brasil), gigantea Stone (de Panama), magna, sp. n. (de Colombia y Venezuela), y superj1ua Stone (de Panama). Datos de huespedes del grupo belljamini incluyen solo un registro de benjamini en una especie de Pouteria (Sapotaceae). EI complejo pallidipennis, que es una parte del grupo pseudoparallela incluye: amnis Stone (del sur de Brasil y tal vez de Trinidad), curitis Stone (de Colombia, Peru, y el norte de Brasil), pallida, sp. n. (de Panama), pallidipennis Greene (de Colombia y Venezuela), y velezi, sp. n. (de Colombia). Estas cinco especies se alimentan de frutos de Passij10ra (passifloraceae) (P. ambiguaHemsJ., ligularisJuss., nitida H.B.K., quadrangularis L., y seemannii Griseb.). Se discuten las relaciones de estas Anastrepila especies y se proveen diagnoses e ilustraciones para su identificacci6n. Se designa un neotipo de A. consobrina (Loew) , y se establece la identidad de esta especie.
