Anastrepha daciformis is a fruit fly characterized by a distinct body coloration. Observations of museum specimens show a predominantly brownish body with a darker, brownish-black scutellum. The scutellum is notably darker at its base, a trait consistent with the daciformis species group [2]. The wings are elongated and exhibit a pattern typical of the genus, though specific venation details are best examined under magnification [1].
Anastrepha daciformis was described by Mario Bezzi in 1909 [3]. It belongs to the genus Anastrepha, a diverse group of fruit flies found throughout the American tropics and subtropics, which includes over 230 described species [2]. The species is placed within the daciformis species group, which is defined by specific morphological features, including the coloration of the scutellum [2].
