Conteúdo: | The study of the chemical ecology of fruit  flies is of great interest and utility serving as a source of potential chemical attractants for the development of detection, monitoring, and control technology. As with other pest tephritids of the neotropics and subtropics, such  technology is greaty needed for the papaya fruit fly, Toxotrypana curvicauda Gerstaecker. This paper reviews and summarizes studies of the sex pheromone, chemically-mediated host finding and oviposition behavior, and tropping system for the papaya fruit fly. Males of T. curvicauda were observed on fruit expanding pleural pouches of the abdomen (puffing) (Landolt and Hendrichs, 1983). This behavior is associated With pheromone release on other tephritids ( Nation,1974; Pritchard , 1967). Subsequent laboratory experiments demonstrated close-range excitatory and courtship responses, and long-range orientation responses by females to volatiles of males (Landolt et al; 1985). These experiments also provided bioassays for the isolation and identification of the male T. curvicauda pheromone as 2,6-methylvinyl pyrazine (2,-6MVP) by Chumanet al. (1987).
