Larvae of Fruit Flies. 6. Anastrepha interrupta (Schoepfia fruit fly)

The schoepfia fruit fly, Anastrepha interrupta Stone, is native to southern Florida and one of six Anastrepha species known to occur in Florida. The species was described from southern Florida (Stone, 1942) and is thus far known only from coastal counties of south-central Florida to Key West. The schoepfia fruit fly has not been found on any economic fruits and is only known to feed on fruit of Schoepfia chrysophylloides (A. Rich.) Planch. (Olacaceae) (Weems, 1967).
