Morphological Features

Adults of Anastrepha obliqua are yellowish-brown flies. The frons lacks brown markings except the ocellar tubercle. The mesonotum is yellow/orange with three pale postsutural vittae, and the scutellum is entirely yellow. The wing exhibits the typical Anastrepha pattern: S-band complete, C-band and V-band present, with the V-band proximal arm connected anteriorly to the S-band along vein R4+5; the V-band distal arm is complete. The aculeus (ovipositor tip) is 1.3–1.75 mm long, with tip length 0.15–0.25 mm and width 0.08–0.12 mm; lateral margins of the aculeus tip are not curved dorsally. The aculeus tip has lateral serrations on more than two-thirds of its length, distinguishing it from A. fraterculus and A. suspensa.
