Abstract : Notes are given on the distribution in the Americas, food-plants, morphology and detection of Anastrepha striata Schin., which is very common and destructive to some tropical fruits in private gardens in Florida but is not considered to be of primary economic importance. It prefers guava, other food-plants including mango and the seed-pods of cassava. Adults may be collected by means of bait-traps and sticky boards.
