Guides
Carpomyina
Carpomyina is a subtribe of fruit flies within the family Tephritidae, subfamily Trypetinae, and tribe Carpomyini. Members are included in genera such as Rhagoletis, Zonosemata, and Carpomya. Behavioral studies indicate these flies exhibit complex resource-acquisition behaviors related to food, mates, and oviposition sites, with defensive behaviors against natural enemies.
Paraterellia immaculata
Paraterellia immaculata is a species of fruit fly in the family Tephritidae, described by Blanc in 1979. It is one of approximately 20 species in the genus Paraterellia, a group of tephritid flies primarily distributed in the New World. The specific epithet 'immaculata' (meaning 'unspotted' or 'spotless') likely refers to the wing pattern, as many tephritids are characterized by distinctive wing markings. Very little is known about the biology or ecology of this species.
Paraterellia ypsilon
Paraterellia ypsilon is a species of tephritid fruit fly described by Foote in 1960. It belongs to the genus Paraterellia within the family Tephritidae, a group of true flies commonly known as fruit flies. The species is part of the tribe Carpomyini and subtribe Paraterelliina. Very little specific information about its biology, distribution, or ecology has been documented in available sources.
Paraterelliina
Paraterelliina is a subtribe of fruit flies within the family Tephritidae, established by Korneyev in 1995. It belongs to the tribe Carpomyini in the subfamily Trypetinae. The subtribe contains genera of small to medium-sized tephritid flies, though the constituent genera and species-level composition remain incompletely documented in public sources.
Rhagoletotrypeta
Rhagoletotrypeta is a genus of tephritid fruit flies native to the Americas, established by Aczél in 1951. The genus currently includes nine described species distributed across the Neotropics, with records from Cuba, Argentina, and other regions. Species in this genus are fruit-infesting flies whose larvae develop inside the fruits of Celtis species (Cannabaceae). The genus is notable for its extended pupal dormancy periods, which can last approximately 12 months in some populations.
Trypetinae
Trypetinae is a subfamily of tephritid fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) comprising seven tribes and approximately 1,000 described species. The subfamily includes economically significant pest genera such as Anastrepha, Rhagoletis, and Toxotrypana, as well as numerous non-pest species. Members are characterized by their association with fruit and plant tissues, with larvae typically developing in fruits, seeds, or stems. The group has a cosmopolitan distribution with highest diversity in tropical and subtropical regions.
