Alyssa Seeman photographed and enhanced the wing photos; Taina Litwak montaged and enhanced the habitus image. Most of the examined specimens from Ecuador and Peru were collected via the USDA Farm Bill projects “Enhancement of Fruit Fly Larvae Identification and Taxonomy” (project numbers 3.0342 (2012) and 13-8131-0291-CA (2013)) and “Development of More Rapid and Reliable Diagnostic Tools for All Life Stages of Anastrepha and Other Pest Fruit Flies” (project number 3.0520 (2017)). Most of the authors contributed to the planning of the sampling in Ecuador and Peru and the collection and sorting of the samples; P.A. Rodriguez was responsible for the sorting and preliminary identification of the Colombian specimens; the senior author is responsible for the taxonomic decisions and descriptions.
