Abstract
Eleven alkaline phosphatase (APH) electromorphs were detected during A nastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) ontogenetic development. Specific isozymes were found in each stage analyzed (embryonic, larval , pupal and adult) and some isozymes were shared by two stages. A spec ific isozyme of the adult stage (Aph 0.37) occurred only in males 60 a nd 100 days old. Similar APH patterns were observed in third-stage lar vae. reared on four kinds of fruit (papaya, guava, banana and kiwi).
