Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart, 1835) (Diptera: Tephritidae), known as the West Indian fruit fly, is a widely distributed species in America. Due to its polyphagous capacity, this insect is of great economic importance, which is studied based on its distribution, forms of management and control. Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti, 1911) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a native species, solitary endoparasitoid, koinobiont, has a wide distribution in the Neotropics and subtropics, and due to its capacity as a parasitoid of the genus Anastrepha is a potential candidate for the natural control of this pest. The species Psidium guajava L., native to Mexico, is a fruit with high nutritional value and has great relevance from the commercial perspective. In Panama, the information related to the Parasitoid-Anastrepha-Fruit relationship in this species is limited, so it is of high value to establish r...
