Anastrepha lutea

Length 6.7–8.5 mm, width 2.55–3.35 mm. Wing pattern highly reduced, mostly diffuse yellow; C- and S-bands of more typical Anastrepha type, mostly yellow to orange brown, with darker markings in cell cu1 and distal part of S-band. Abdomen with brown markings and clusters of large, stout setae on lateral margins of tergites 3 and 4, and on lateral and apical margins and brown areas of tergite 5. Tergite 5 dark brown on lateral 1/3–2/5, separated by white area. Tergites yellow to orange with posterior margins white; females may have pair of narrow, diffuse brown bands on tergite 3. Oviscape 3.20–3.85 mm long, 0.97–1.19 times as long as mesonotum, entirely yellow to orange. Antenna extended 0.60–0.75 distance to ventral facial margin. Usually 2 orbital setae. Katepisternal seta paler and weaker than other setae, 2/3 to as long as postocellar seta. Crossvein r-m at 0.66–0.70 length of cell dm; ratio of second to third sections of vein M 1.96–2.31. Lateral surstylus in posterior view elongate triangular, medial margin convex to very slightly concave, lateral margin slightly concave subapically, apex acute. Eversible membrane with about 35 long, slender, hook-like dorsobasal scales in triangular to semicircular pattern. Sexes dimorphic in wing pattern and abdominal markings and setation.
