Anastrepha ocresia is a small, orange-brown fruit fly, typically measuring 6.6–7.5 mm in wing length.[2] Observations of preserved specimens from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset confirm the presence of distinct, dark brown patterns on the wings and transverse brownish-black bands on the base of the abdominal tergites.[1] The thorax is characterized by an orange-brown coloration with pale-yellow and black markings, including a notable median spot on the scutoscutellar suture.[2]
Anastrepha ocresia is a West Indian fruit fly species found in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and the Florida Keys.[2] Although recorded in the Florida Keys, it has not been collected in Florida since 1936, and it is possible the species is no longer established there.[2] The species is not considered to be of economic importance.[2]
Known hosts include sapodilla (Achras zapota) and common guava (Psidium guajava).[2] The life history of the species remains largely unknown.[2]
