Utetes anastrephae (Viereck, 1913) (Figure 2F) Diagnosis. Clypeal margin truncate or concave, occipital carina absent, notauli short and not sculptured, propodeum rugose with irregular transverse carina on anterior half, hind tibia dorso-posteriorly with distinct basal carina, fore wing hyaline with 2 nd submarginal cell long 5-sided, stigma brown. Comments. Utetes anastrephae was originally described as Opius anastrephae by Viereck in 1913, and was transferred by Fischer (1977) to the genus Bracanastrepha. Wharton (1988) retained Bracanastrepha as a subgenus of Utetes, where the species from the New World with a distinct carina at the base of the posterior tibia were placed. Utetes anastrephae is distributed throughout the Neotropical Region, and may be a complex of closely related species with subtle differences in ovipositor length, body sculpturing and host preference (Wharton 1997). It is the only species of Utetes recorded from species of Anastrepha. It occurs in 20 states in all five Brazilian regions, and has been found associated with 16 species of Anastrepha and with C. capitata (see Zucchi & Moraes 2008; 2012).
