Based on observations of museum specimens, Anastrepha lanceola exhibits the characteristic morphology of the genus Anastrepha[1]. Like other members of the genus, it possesses wings typically marked with C, S, and V-shaped patterns, although these may vary in intensity or fusion[2].
Anastrepha lanceola has been documented in South America, with specific records from Bolivia, including the La Paz department[3].
The species was described by Alan Stone in 1942[4]. As with many Anastrepha species, reliable identification often requires examination of female genitalia, particularly the apex of the aculeus, which serves as a primary diagnostic character[2].
