• Abstract: Natural wealth is based on the diversity of its flora, fauna, water basins and even the climate of a country and/or region, which becomes a determining factor in social and economic development, and to manage these resources it is important. know the diversity of these resources. Due to its geography, the state of Campeche in Mexico, belonging to the Yucatan Peninsula in the humid tropics and coupled with its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, determines the ideal conditions for the proliferation of great diversity. of animal and plant species being formed, as well as one more territory of the Mexican Republic that makes the country one of the mega diverse countries in the world. In this diversity of flora and fauna of the State of Campeche, fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha were found, some considered a phytosanitary problem with economic losses in global, national and local fruit growing in tropical regions, and other species that do not constitute economic drawback, but ecological, impacting the populations of pest species in the environmental balance, both carry out their biological cycle in both commercial and wild fruits of the place. The objective of this study is to reveal the existing diversity of flies of the genus Anastrepha and their relationship with their hosts, which constitutes an important component in the natural heritage of the place. To date, the following flies of economic and non-economic importance have been found in various fruits sampled for more than 10 years: A. ludens (Loew), 1873; A. obliqua (Macquart), 1835; A. striata (Schiner), 1868; A. serpentina (Wiedemann), 1830; A. fraterculus (Wiedemann), 1830; A. zuelaniae (Stone), 1942; A. distincta (Greene), 1934; A. ampliata (Hernández), 1990 and A. hamata (Loew), 1873.
