Autoria: OLIVEIRA-FILHO, A. L.; PINTO, I. S.; LUZ, H. B.; PÁDUA, T. H. R.; LIMEIRA-DE-OLIVEIRA, F.; ADAIME, R.; SAVARIS, M.; ZUCCHI, R. A. Conteúdo: The pineapple fly, Melanoloma viatrix Hendel, 1911 (Diptera, Richardiidae), is a pest in pineapple plantations in several South American countries. In Brazil, pineapple damage by M. viatrix was first reported in a commercial plantation in the state of Amapá. We report this pest from a single pineapple sample collected in the municipality of Itaituba, state of Pará, from a plantation operated under the family farming system. As in other South American countries, pineapple is the sole known host of M. viatrix. Examination of specimens deposited in two Brazilian collections revealed that, in addition to the states of Amapá and Pará, M. viatrix also occurs in the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, and Mato Grosso. However, no host information is known for the specimens deposited in collections; therefore, M. viatrix is known to damage pineapple only in Amapá and Pará. Given the extensive geographical distribution of the pest, surveys of host plants and sampling in other Brazilian pineapple-producing states are needed to establish effective management strategies and prevent the spread of the pest within Brazil.

Autoria: LEMOS, L. N.; PANTOJA, E. V.; CHUCRE, C. E. C.; DALMACIO, G. A.; BELO, A. P. D.; SOUZA-FILHO, M. F.; ADAIME, R. Conteúdo: In this work we report four new host plants of carambola fruit fly [Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock, 1994 (Diptera: Tephritidae)] in Brazil from sampling carried out in four municipalities in the state of Amapá. We also report new host record for Anastrepha bahiensis Lima, 1937 and Anastrepha striata Schiner, 1868 (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Brazil.

Autoria: ACIOLI, A. N. S.; SILVA, N. M.; ADAIME, R.; COSTA-SILVA, F. C.; ZUCCHI, R. A. Conteúdo: Since its detection in Brazil in 1901, the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) has continuously extended its occurrence in Brazil. The last Brazilian states in the North region of the country without records of the Mediterranean fruit fly were invaded in the current decade - Acre and Roraima in 2017 and Amapá in 2022 - leaving only the state of Amazonas to complete the spread of the Mediterranean fruit fly in all Brazilian states. In the state of Amazonas, the Mediterranean fruit fly was detected in a mango fruit purchased at a commercial establishment. This record is an alert to phytosanitary agents to establish strategies to monitor the occurrence of this pest in the state. We also discuss the first records of C. capitata in each Brazilian state, establishing the chronological order of these records in Brazil from 1901 to 2024.
