Abstract
We report for the first time the occurrence in Uruguay of three species of Anastrepha , which belong to the curvicauda species group. Specimens of Anastrepha australis (Blanchard, 1959), Anastrepha littoralis (Blanchard, 1959), and Anastrepha nigra (Blanchard, 1959) were collected with McPhail traps baited with PBX ® yeast/borax placed in fruit orchards. These records represent the most southern distribution known for A. littoralis and A. nigra , in addition to the first host plant records for A. nigra , which were reared from larvae on fruits of Araujia hortorum E. Fourn. (Apocynaceae).
