Abstract
One male Mediterranean fruit fly suspect was collected in a detection trap baited with a synthetic male lure in Brownsville, Texas, June 13, 1966. The specimen was identified as Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) by Richard H. Foote on June 15. This was the first record of the pest in Texas. The first larval infestation was found in calamondin on June 16 in the same general area. Other hosts subsequently found infested included peach and sour orange.
