Summary of Invasiveness

Top of page

A. grandis is a pest of various cultivated species of Cucurbitaceae, especially pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.), squash (Cucurbita spp.) and melon [Cucumis melo]. It occurs in the Andean countries, Paraguay, southern Brazil, and northern Argentina. It has been intercepted at ports in the USA, indicating its potential for spread via infested fruits.

Notes on Taxonomy and Nomenclature

Top of page
A. grandis was first described by Macquart (1846) as Tephritis grandis. Bezzi (1909) first classified it in the genus Anastrepha. It was subsequently described twice by Hendel (1914a, b) as Anastrepha schineri, and by Hering (1935) as Anastrepha latifasciata. Norrbom (1991) discussed additional nomenclatural details and type data for these names.

Description

Top of page

Adults

Norrbom (1991) re-described the adult and illustrated the thoracic dorsum, wing, and male and female terminalia. As in most other Anastrepha spp., the adults of A. grandis are easily separated from those of other tephritid genera by a simple wing venation character; vein M, the vein that reaches the wing margin just behind the wing apex, curves forwards before joining the wing margin.

The adults are mostly orange to red-brown. The setae are usually moderate red-brown.

Head: concolorous except dark-brown ocellar tubercle; three to five frontal setae; one to two orbital setae, posterior one often weak when present. Antennae extend 0.60-0.72 to lower facial margin.

Thorax: mesonotum 2.88-4.22 mm long. Scutum entirely microtrichose; mostly orange to red-brown; single distinct yellowish medial stripe from anterior margin to slightly posterior to acrostichal seta, moderately expanded posteriorly, extending laterally beyond acrostichal seta, but not reaching dorsocentral seta; no narrow yellowish stripe in line with dorsocentral seta, but dark-brown, sometimes poorly differentiated stripe slightly lateral to dorsocentral seta; distinct yellowish sublateral stripe from transverse suture to posterior margin, crossing intra-alar seta; scuto-scutellar suture usually with irregular medial dark-brown spot. Subscutellum and mediotergite orange-brown, broadly dark-brown to black laterally. Pleura with typical dark areas weakly differentiated except anepimeron usually with dark-brown spot. Katepisternal seta undifferentiated or weak, yellowish, no longer than postocellar seta.

Wing: length 7.95-10.3 mm. Vein R2+3 almost straight. Vein M moderately curved apically; section between bm-cu and r-m 2.18-2.69 times as long as section between r-m and dm-cu. Pattern faint yellow-brown to orange-brown, its margins often diffuse. Cell r2+3 entirely infuscated. Cell br with large hyaline area apical to bm-cu, extending more than halfway to r-m. Cell dm with large basal hyaline area. Cell bm hyaline. Proximal arm of V-band ending at M or extending anteriorly, often faintly, to R4+5 to fuse with S-band.

Abdomen: tergites unicolorous yellowish to orange.

Male terminalia: lateral surstylus broad basally, tapering apically to short blunt lobe; moderately long, section apical to apex of inner surstylus 0.95-1.33 times as long as basal section; posterior side distinctly concave. Proctiger with distinct lateral fold; sclerotized part narrowly divided into three sections or only weakly connected. Phallus 6.7-7.4 mm long; 1.7-2.33 times as long as mesonotum. Glans 0.55-0.68 mm long, relatively stout; acrophallus strong, stout and distinctly convoluted apically.

Female terminalia: oviscape 4.99-6.28 mm long; 1.4-1.59 times as long as mesonotum. Eversible membrane with dorsobasal scales in broad subtriangular pattern; 14-16 large hook-like scales in broadest row; largest scales 0.3 mm long. Aculeus 5.27-6.18 mm long, often as long as or longer than oviscape; tip 0.58-0.66 mm long, 0.16-0.18 mm wide, non-serrate, sides slightly convex, ventral surface with V-shaped ridge sub-basally, dorsal surface with V-shaped ridge at mid-length. Spermathecae ovoid to elongate ovoid.

Immature Stages

The key by Steck et al. (1990) and the interactive system of Carroll et al. (2004) are the best tools for the identification of A. grandis larvae. Steck and Wharton (1988) described and illustrated the egg, second- and third-instars and puparium in considerable detail. The following abbreviated descriptions include only the most important diagnostic characters.

Egg: the eggs are white, 2.06-2.25 mm long, and approximately 0.2 mm wide. Elongate ovoid and slightly curved, posterior end strongly, but gradually tapered from midpoint. Anterior (micropyle) end slightly nipple-shaped. Surface finely stippled at 400x magnification; no reticulation apparent.

Third-instar: the third-instar larvae are cream, 6.6-17.0 mm long and 1.6-2.7 mm wide. Elongate cylindrical, tapering anteriorly.

Head with 8-13 oral ridges. Mandible without secondary tooth. Anterior spiracle with 28-37 tubules. Thoracic and abdominal segment with spinules extending dorsally as follows: T1 six to eight rows, T2 with five to seven rows, T3 with four to six rows, A1 with two to five rows, A2 and A3 with one to three rows (in A2 and A3 not always traversing dorsum). Posterior spiracle with openings 3.0-5.3 times as long as wide; spiracular hairs with numerous processes, longer than width of spiracular openings. Anal lobes bifid, prominently protruding.

Puparium: the puparia are golden-brown, 8.0-9.1 mm long and 3.2-3.7 mm wide.

Distribution

Top of page
A. grandis is present in Western Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, northern Argentina and southern Brazil. There is one questionable record from Panama (Stone, 1942) based on an intercepted specimen. In the Andean countries, A. grandis appears restricted to lower elevations of the Andean cordillera and bordering areas. It has not been detected in the lowland coastal melon-growing region of Ecuador (Harper, 1987). In Venezuela, A. grandis is known from the states of Aragua, Carabobo, Barinas and Zulia (Caraballo, 1981), and in Brazil it has been reported from the states of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul (Norrbom, 1991; Malavasi and Zucchi, 2000). It has not been reported from the Guianas, eastern Venezuela, Amazonia or northeastern Brazil. In the latter country it has been collected only as far north as Bahia (Bondar, 1950), Goiás, and Mato Grosso (Zucchi, 1978) and has not been detected in the north despite extensive surveys (see Malavasi and Zucchi, 2000).

A. grandis is considered a pest of quarantine significance by USDA-APHIS-PPQ (Autumn 2000).

Habitat

Top of page
Little is known of the habitat preferences of A. grandis. In several countries in which it occurs, it has not been collected in certain dry, melon [Cucumis melo]-producing areas, such as western Ecuador and northeastern Brazil (Harper, 1987; Malavasi and Zucchi, 2000).

Hosts/Species Affected

Top of page
A. grandis has been reported to attack the fruits of various native and introduced species of Cucurbitaceae (see Norrbom, 2000 for a full list of host records). The primary hosts appear to be species of Cucurbita, including Cucurbitamoschata (pumpkin), Cucurbitamaxima (giant pumpkin) and Cucurbitapepo (ornamental gourd). In addition, A. grandis has been reported to attack melon (Cucumis melo), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus), and calabash gourd (Lagenaria siceraria). Fischer (1934) reported an incidental rearing from guava (Psidium guajava). Records from Citrus and Passiflora alata are doubtful.

Symptoms

Top of page

The main damage is caused by the larvae, which feed inside the fruit and tunnel through it to exit for pupation. The larval feeding often causes premature fruit drop from the plant and usually rotting of the damaged tissues.

Biology and Ecology

Top of page
Nascimento et al. (1988) and Silva and Malavasi (1993b, 1996) studied various biological parameters of this species involving oviposition, mating and duration of life stages. The females lay eggs in clutches of up to 110, and, as in many other species of Anastrepha, after laying eggs in a fruit, the female marks its surface with a pheromone that deters oviposition by other females. There are three larval instars, all of which feed inside the fruit. When mature, the third instars tunnel out of the fruit to pupariate in the soil. Silva and Malavasi (1996) found the development time to be 3-7 days for the egg, 13-28 days (mean 17.7 days) for the larvae (three instars), and 14-23 days (mean 19.7 days) for the puparium. Silva and Malavasi (1993a) found that larvae developing in melons [Cucumis melo] had a higher mortality rate than those in pumpkins [Cucurbita moschata].

Impact

Top of page
A. grandis is a pest of the fruits of various native and introduced species of Cucurbitaceae in many areas of South America (Norrbom, 2000). It is considered a pest of quarantine significance by USDA-APHIS-PPQ, and has received considerable attention in regard to the extent to which it attacks melons [Cucumis melo], grown commercially in a number of South American countries (Harper, 1987; Silva and Malavasi, 1993a). Several species of Cucurbita, including Cucurbitapepo, are more common hosts, and there are also records of A. grandis attacking watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus) (Lima, 1926, 1934; Gonçalves, 1938; Bondar, 1950), and calabash gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) (Caraballo, 1981).

Similarities to Other Species/Conditions

Top of page
The adults of this species differ from all other species of Anastrepha by the narrow, dark brown dorsocentral vittae on the scutum and from most by its very large size. The female is further distinguished by the unusually long ovipositor and stiletto-like shape of the aculeus tip, which has two V-shaped ridges, one dorsally and one ventrally. A. grandis also differs from most other species of Anastrepha in having rather diffuse markings with a complete S-band that is broadly fused to the C-band along the costa, so that there is no hyaline area in cell r1 distal to the apex of vein R1. It differs from the other species with this type of wing pattern except Anastrephashannoni in having cell r2+3 entirely infuscated, and from A. shannoni in having a hyaline area in cell br, the abdomen without red-brown lateral areas, and in terminalia length (Norrbom, 1991). The third-stage larva differs from those of all other species of Anastrepha described to date by the number of tubules of the anterior spiracle, 28-37 in A. grandis, no more than 23 in the other species (Steck and Wharton, 1988; Steck et al., 1990).

Prevention and Control

Top of page

Due to the variable regulations around (de)registration of pesticides, your national list of registered pesticides or relevant authority should be consulted to determine which products are legally allowed for use in your country when considering chemical control. Pesticides should always be used in a lawful manner, consistent with the product's label.

Little has been published on control methods for this species. Malavasi et al. (1990) discussed trapping methods and attractants.
