Abstract: The carambola fruit fly Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock, 1994 (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a present quarantine pest in Brazil since 1996 Still currently, it is restricted to areas of the states of Amapá (AP), part of Pará (PA), and Roraima (RR) under official containment of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock. Fopius arisanus (Sonan, 1932) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is an exotic egg-pupal parasitoid, introduced in Brazil in 2012 and with potential for the biological control of the pest. The effectiveness of F. arisanus releases toward the control of B. carambolae in field conditions demands to forecast the Brazilian territorial areas most favorable for both insect developments, since specific monthly climatic conditions of these locations can affect them. This work presents territorial zoning maps of Brazilian areas most favorable for the development of F. arisanus aiming at the biocontrol of B. carambolae. The zoning maps were carried out in GIS ArcGIS considering: a) climatic conditions (Temperatures (T) and relative humidities (RH)), from international literature, that enable the favorability for the major development of F. arisanus; b) monthly territorial zoning maps of Brazilian areas suitable for B. carambolae in areas with host crops of the Barbados cherry, cashew, star fruit, guava, mango, Suriname cherry, orange, tangerine, and tomato, made available by Embrapa and SFA/AP-Mapa; c) T and UR national monthly averages, obtained from those annuals in the period of 2009 and 2018 enabled by BNMEP/INMET; and d) municipality grid of the country (IBGE). The obtained results contribute to the public policy of B. carambolae control in Brazil.
