Diagnosis. Anastrepha nolazcoae is among the species of Anastrepha having an uninterrupted hyaline area between the C-band and S-band that broadly reaches the costa and a simple, non-serrate aculeus tip. In the key of Steyskal (1977b) it runs to either A. mucronota Stone on page 13 or A. aphelocentema Stone, A. greenei Lima, or A. nunezae Steyskal (= A. mucronota) on page 15. It differs from all three species in scutal microtrichial pattern (microtrichose only medially, laterally, and posteriorly vs. entirely microtrichose in A. aphelocentema and A. greenei and microtrichose only laterally and posteriorly in A. mucronota) and surstylus shape (mesal margin concave, lateral margin convex (Fig. 40) vs. the opposite in A. aphelocentema; the shape is similar but the apex is much broader than in A. greenei and A. mucronota (Fig. 38)). The relative oviscape length in A. nolazcoae is also usually longer than in A. mucronota (1.40–1.70 vs. 1.07–1.42). Anastrepha nolazcoae differs from A. kuhlmanni Lima, with which it was confused by Korytkowski (2001), in having considerably fewer and stouter hooklike scales on the eversible membrane (Fig. 22; compare with Fig. 20 of syntype female in USNM of A. kuhlmanni) and much longer surstyli. It differs from A. mikuymono Tigrero (2007) in terminalia length (oviscape 4.12–5.60 mm long, 1.40–1.70 times as long as mesonotum vs. 3.57–3.80 mm, 1.19–1.20 times mesonotum; aculeus 4.10–5.25 mm long vs. 3.28–3.50 mm), surstylus shape (lateral margin concave, medial margin convex in A. mikuymono), and in having vein R2+3 slightly sinuous.
Description. Mostly yellow to orange, with white to pale yellow markings (sometimes poorly differentiated). Setae orange brown to dark red brown.
Head: Yellow to orange except brown ocellar tubercle. 3–4 frontal setae; 2 orbital setae, posterior seta well developed. Ocellar seta weak, at most 1.5 times as long as ocellar tubercle. Facial carina, in profile, straight to slightly concave dorsally and medially. Antenna extended 0.7–0.8 distance to ventral facial margin.
Thorax (Fig. 4): Mostly yellow to orange, without brown markings, with following areas (often poorly differentiated) white to pale yellow: postpronotal lobe and lateral margin of scutum bordering it; medial scutal vitta, slender except posterior sixth broadly and abruptly expanded, extended laterally almost to dorsocentral seta, subquadrate; paired, very slender, dorsocentral scutal vitta, sometimes interrupted or diffuse posteriorly; paired sublateral scutal vitta from transverse suture to posterior margin, including base of intra-alar seta; scutellum; dorsal margins of anepisternum and katepisternum; katepimeron; and most of anatergite and katatergite. Subscutellum and mediotergite entirely orange. Mesonotum 2.75–3.73 mm long. Postpronotal lobe and scutellum entirely microtrichose; scutum microtrichose on lateral and posterior margins and medially between acrostichal lines, sometimes extending irregularly and/or more sparsely to dorsocentral lines, especially posteriorly; scutal setulae yellowish, brown. Chaetotaxy typical for genus. Katepisternal seta weak, short to moderately long, a third to twothirds as long as anepisternal seta, but much weaker, pale to moderate brown.
Legs: Entirely yellow to orange.
Wing (Figs. 10–11): Length 7.30–8.35 mm, width 2.65–3.29 mm, ratio 2.50–2.75. Apex of vein R1 at 0.55– 0.61 wing length. Cell c 0.91–1.06 times as long as pterostigma; pterostigma 4.40–5.03 times as long as wide. Vein R2+3 slightly sinuous. Crossvein r-m at 0.67–0.72 distance from bm-cu to dm-cu on vein M. Vein M moderately strongly curved apically; cell r4+5 0.87–0.97 times as wide at apex as at level of dm-cu. Cell bcu with distal lobe moderately long, length of bcu 1.50–1.72 times as long as anterior margin. Wing pattern mostly orange and orange brown. C-band with cells bc and c slightly paler orange; pterostigma slightly darker orange brown. C-band and S-band broadly separated by hyaline band extended from cells bm and dm to costa distal to apex of vein R1, hyaline band not narrowed along veins R2+3 and R4+5, at most slightly narrowed anteriorly in cell r1. S-band with margins mostly narrowly pale brown, except proximal margin in cell dm and parts of distal margin in cells dm and r4+5, posterior margin of basal part more broadly brown in cell cu1 and with weak or no incision in cell cu1; distal section of band moderately broad, at apex of vein R2+3 0.55–0.68 times width of cell r2+3, even in width or slightly broadening in cell r2+3, well separated from apex of vein M, mostly orange, posterior margin and posterior part in cell r2+3 and most of area in cell m moderate brown; hyaline area proximal to apex of band extending to or almost to vein R2+3 or slightly into cell r1. V-band complete, mostly moderate brown, proximal arm mostly orange anterior to vein M and with broad medial orange area extending most of length of dm-cu, separated from S-band along vein R4+5 and in cell r2+3, relatively slender, and with basal extension along wing margin extending half to two-thirds distance to vein A1+Cu2; distal arm slender, mostly brown, connected to proximal arm and extending to vein R4+5.
Abdomen: Mostly orange, without brown markings.
Male terminalia (Korytkowski 2001, figs. 106–107, 110, 112): Lateral surstylus moderately long, extended beyond prensisetae by 1.8–2.5 times length of prensiseta; in lateral view (Fig. 39) slender and slightly posteriorly curved; in posterior view (Fig. 40), lateral margin slightly convex, medial margin distinctly concave, apex relatively broad and bluntly rounded. Proctiger with ventral and lateral sclerotized areas connected. Phallus 6.30–6.60 mm long, 1.86–2.24 times as long as mesonotum; glans 0.50–0.60 mm long, 0.08–0.10 times as long as phallus.
Female terminalia: Oviscape 4.12–5.60 mm long, 1.40–1.70 times as long as mesonotum, straight in lateral view, entirely orange; spiracle at basal 0.22–0.25. Eversible membrane (Fig. 22) with 25–35 long, slender, hooklike scales in 3–4 irregular rows in subtriangular to subovoid pattern. Aculeus (Fig. 31) straight or slightly ventrally curved in lateral view, 4.10–5.25 mm long, 0.90–1.02 times oviscape length; in ventral view base strongly expanded, 0.20–0.24 mm wide; shaft 0.08–0.10 mm wide at midlength; tip (Fig. 32) 0.23–0.29 mm long, 0.046– 0.062 times aculeus length, 0.10–0.12 mm wide, 1.92–2.76 times as long as wide, 0.06–0.07 mm wide in lateral view, 0.50–0.65 times ventral width, in ventral view elongate triangular, sometimes slightly expanded subbasally, then gradually tapered, lateral margin nearly straight or slightly convex or concave, nonserrate. Spermathecae not examined.
Distribution. Anastrepha nolazcoae is known only from Perú (Amazonas, Huánuco).
Biology. Part of the type series was reared from fruit of Matisia cordata Bonpl. (Bombacaceae) following the suggestion of Dante Damas, the SENASA identifier for the Tingo Maria area, who had previously reared specimens from this fruit. The very similar species A. mucronota has also been reared from this host plant (Steyskal 1977a).
