Diagnosis.
This species is very similar to
A. rojasi
and especially
A. miza
, which have very similar aculeus tips with two pairs of ridges that project in ventral view as small lateral protuberances. It differs from
A. rojasi
in having orange to orange brown setae (dark red brown to black in
rojasi
) and the hyaline area in cell br large, 1.0–1.5 times as long as the distal colored area of the cell (0.33–0.64 times as long in
rojasi
), and from both species in having longer terminalia.
Description.
Mostly yellow to orange, with white to pale yellow markings. Setae orange to orange brown.
Head: Yellow to orange except brown ocellar tubercle. 3–5 (usually 4) frontal setae; 2 orbital setae, posterior seta well developed. Ocellar seta weak, about as long as ocellar tubercle. Facial carina, in profile, straight dorsally and medially. Antenna extended 0.67–0.75 distance to ventral facial margin.
Thorax (
Fig. 2
): Mostly orange with following areas white or pale yellow (usually poorly differentiated in the dried specimens examined): postpronotal lobe; paired sublateral scutal vitta from transverse suture to posterior margin, including intra-alar seta; entire scutellum; dorsal margin of anepisternum; katepimeron; and most of anatergite and katatergite. Scutum orange medially, without pale vitta; posterior margin sometimes with broad dark orange band, with straight anterior margin, not extended beyond acrostichal seta, and ending laterally at sublateral white vitta, not extended to intra-alar seta. Subscutellum and mediotergite entirely orange. Mesonotum
3.80–4.37 mm
long. Scutum entirely microtrichose; setulae yellow to orange. Katepisternal seta undifferentiated or small, weak, and yellowish.
Wing (
Figs. 22–23
): Length
9.20–10.50 mm
, width
3.90–4.55 mm
, ratio 2.29–2.39. Apex of vein R
1
at 0.58–0.63 wing length. Cell c 0.99–1.10 times as long as pterostigma; pterostigma 4.20–6.03 times as long as wide. Vein R
2+3
without sharp bends or undulations. Crossvein r-m at 0.68–0.71 distance from bm-cu to dm-cu on vein M. Vein M slightly curved apically; cell r
4+5
1.03–1.22 times as wide at apex as at level of dm-cu. Cell bcu with distal lobe moderately long, length of bcu 1.49–1.54 times as long as anterior margin. Wing pattern mostly orange. C-band with cells bc and c mostly yellowish; pterostigma and distal and posterior margins narrowly pale brown. C-band and S-band narrowly to broadly connected along vein R
4+5
; hyaline area in cell br large, reaching vein R
4+5
, more elongate anteriorly, 1.0–1.5 times as long as distal colored area of cell; cell dm with basal hyaline area moderate sized. S-band with margins narrowly pale brown, except proximal margin in cell dm orange, posterior margin of basal part broadly pale brown in cells dm and especially cu
1
and with distinct incision in cell cu
1
; distal section relatively broad, at apex of vein R
2+3
0.66–0.85 times width of cell r
2+3
, slightly broadening in cell r
2+3
, well separated from apex of vein M; hyaline area proximal to it ending at vein R
2+3
. Hyaline basomarginal spot in cell r
1
subtriangular, sometimes with blunt apex, extended to vein R
4+5
, its apex aligned proximal to crossvein r-m. V-band complete, mostly pale brown, proximal arm with broad medial orange area from connection with S-band to entire length of dm-cu; broadly connected to Sband in cell r
2+3
; proximal arm moderately broad, gradually and slightly broadening posteriorly to vein Cu
1
, and with broad basal extension along wing margin, at level of vein M 1.20–1.45 times as wide as distal arm, 0.67–0.87 times as wide as hyaline area proximal to it in cells r
4+5
and dm; distal arm slender.
Abdomen: Mostly orange, without brown markings.
Male terminalia: Similar to
A. rojasi
(
Figs. 209–210
). Lateral surstylus very short, extended beyond prensisetae by 0.5 times length of prensiseta; in lateral view tapered to slightly acute apex; in posterior view gradually tapered to blunt apex, ventrolateral margin less produced than in
A. rojasi
. Proctiger with ventral and lateral sclerotized areas connected but lateral areas separate dorsally. Phallus
6.83 mm
long, 1.80 times as long as mesonotum; glans
0.51 mm
long.
Female terminalia: Oviscape (
Fig. 2
)
4.79–5.70 mm
long, 1.10–1.36 times as long as mesonotum; entirely orange; spiracle at basal 0.29–0.32. Eversible membrane (
Fig. 66
) with 60–70 long slender hooklike dorsobasal scales in 3–4 irregular transverse rows separated from minute basal denticles by several rows of weakly sclerotized to membranous smaller thin more widely spaced scales. Aculeus (
Fig. 110
) straight to slightly ventrally curved in lateral view, 4.28–5.00 mm long; in ventral view base expanded, ca.
0.28 mm
wide; shaft ca.
0.09 mm
wide at midlength; tip (
Figs. 145
,
167
)
0.46–0.49 mm
long,
0.10 mm
wide, 4.64–4.90 times as long as wide,
0.06 mm
wide in lateral view, 0.6 times ventral width, in ventral view with 2 pairs of small lateral protuberances, 1 subbasal, the other near distal third, both continuing on dorsal side as weak ridges; parallel-sided until distal protuberances then slightly expanded and gradually tapered to blunt apex, distal 0.24–0.25 very finely serrate, sides of serrate part slightly convex. Spermathecae spherical.
Distribution.
Anastrepha binodosa
is known only from northern
Brazil
(Amazonas, Pará). The records from
Colombia
were based on misidentification.
Biology.
The host plants and other aspects of the biology of this species other than dates of capture of adults are unknown.

Comments
. This species was well described by
Stone (1942a)
and its identity is not in question. We have examined
paratypes
. The specimens from
Colombia
that were reported by
Carrejo & González (1994)
as
A. binodosa
are an undetermined species of the
dentata
group. The aculeus is missing from the female, but its eversible membrane has only minute dorsobasal denticles. The terminalia of the males is typical of the
dentata
group, with extremely short surstyli and a very short phallus without a glans. Vein M is also more strongly curved distally than in
A. binodosa
; in the female cell r
4+5
is 0.78 times as wide at the apex as at the level of dm-cu. The data for these specimens are:
