Volume 144, 2013 Abstract Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) was described in India (Gupta 1970) (Fig. 1) but is suspected to be native to the Afrotropical Region (Chassagnard and Kraaijveld 1996). In the New World, it was first found in late 1998 in São Paulo, Brazil and has since spread rapidly throughout South and Central America (Vilela 1999; Goni et al. 2001; Tidon et al. 2003). Zaprionus indianus was first detected in North America in July 2005 in Florida (Steck 2005) and is now reported from many eastern, central and southwestern states (van der Linde et al. 2006; van der Linde 2013). This species is now globally widespread and considered cosmopolitan, present in temperate and tropical regions (Tidon et al. 2003; Commar et al. 2012). |
