Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are among the major pests of agriculture worldwide and a concern especially for tropical developing countries, which have fruit in an important component of its trade balance. This review aims to compile information generated on fruit flies in the last 10 years in the state of Amapá, with emphasis on distribution, hosts and parasitoids. It also seeks to indicate priorities for research for years to come. In the state of Amapá, studies fruit flies and their natural enemies had significant growth in recent years. Currently, besides the Bactroceracarambolae, are indicated for the State 34 Anastrephaspecies. Anastrephadistincta, Anastrepha coronilli, Anastrepha fraterculus and Anastrepha striata are the most widely distributed species. Are referred to the state 37 species (belonging to 19 botanical families) of host fruit flies. Anastrepha striata is the most polyphagous species, being associated with 25 hosts. Nine species of fruit flies parasitoids specific are registered,Doryctobraconareolatus is the most abundant.Despite significant progress, further studies on biology, genetics, ecology, distribution and population dispersion, as well as factors regulating population levels are needed in order to develop control strategies less costly with no harmful effects to the environment.Keywords: Anastrepha; Bactrocera carambolae; parasitoids; Amazon.
