Observations of museum specimens reveal wings featuring a distinct, brownish, reticulated or banded pattern typical of many species within the genus Anastrepha[1]. The specimens exhibit the characteristic tephritid body form, with a relatively robust thorax and abdomen, and prominent compound eyes[1].
Anastrepha zuelaniae is recognized as one of the species of the genus Anastrepha present in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico[2]. Biological material of this species has been collected in the municipality of Gómez Farías, specifically at the locality of Nuevo Pensar del Campesino[2].
The species has been documented to interact with plants in the family Salicaceae, including Casearia thamnia[3].
