Diagnosis. Anastrepha woodleyi belongs to the serpentina species group based on having the abdominal tergites brown laterally and the mesonotum and mediotergite predominantly brown. Its wing pattern and aculeus tip are also similar to some of the species included in that group. In the key of Norrbom (2002) it runs to couplet 8 and differs from all of the species remaining in the key at that point in having longer terminalia (oviscape 8.0 mm long, 2.06 times as long as mesonotum vs. 2.58–5.51 mm long, 0.79–1.56 times mesonotum length).

Description. Mostly dark red brown, with pale yellow markings. Setae dark red brown to black.

Head: Mostly yellow; orbital plate with dark red brown spot not connected to brown ocellar tubercle; occiput with dark red brown spot lateral to suture ventral to lateral orbital seta. 4 frontal setae; 1–2 orbital setae, posterior seta well developed in female, absent in male. Ocellar seta weak, at most 1.5 times as long as ocellar tubercle. Facial carina, in profile, straight dorsally and medially. Antenna extended 0.67–0.86 distance to ventral facial margin.

Thorax ( Fig. 2 ): Moderate to dark brown and orange with following areas yellow: postpronotal lobe and margin of scutum bordering it, extending almost to presutural supra-alar seta but not onto notopleuron which is completely brown; medial scutal vitta, slender except posterior sixth expanded and rounded to subtriangular, extended laterally almost midway between acrostichal and dorsocentral lines; paired postsutural sublateral scutal vitta from transverse suture to posterior margin, including base of intra-alar seta; scutellum except basal margin of disc with narrow brown semicircular area extended almost to level of basal seta; dorsal margins of anepisternum and katepisternum; katepimeron; and most of anatergite and katatergite. Notopleuron and most of scutum moderate to dark brown or sometimes partially orange, especially bordering anterior half of medial yellow vitta. Anepisternum with broad, oblique brown area. Most of anepimeron and large posteroventral spot on anatergite and katatergite dark brown. Subscutellum and mediotergite dark brown laterally, dark orange medially. Mesonotum 3.60–3.88 mm long. Postpronotal lobe, scutum, and scutellum microtrichose except large semicircular anterior area on scutum extended two-thirds distance to transverse suture and laterally beyond medial corner of postpronotal lobe; scutal setulae yellow medially, brownish on lateral margin. Chaetotaxy typical for genus. Katepisternal seta weak, yellow, no longer than postocellar seta, and much weaker.

Legs: Entirely yellow to orange.

Wing ( Fig. 18 ): Length 8.40–9.05 mm, width 3.27–3.40 mm, ratio 2.57–2.66. Apex of vein R1 at 0.55–0.57 wing length. Cell c 1.10–1.19 times as long as pterostigma; pterostigma 4.44–4.59 times as long as wide. Vein R2+3 without sharp bends or undulations. Crossvein r-m at 0.72–0.74 distance from bm-cu to dm-cu on vein M. Vein M strongly curved apically; cell r4+5 0.83–0.87 times as wide at apex as at level of dm-cu. Cell bcu with distal lobe moderately long, length of bcu 1.45–1.57 times as long as anterior margin. Crossvein dm-cu slightly oblique, anterior end slightly more distal than posterior end. Wing pattern mostly dark brown and orange. C-band dark brown on anterior margin, more broadly in pterostigma, posterior margin including all of area in cell br, and narrowly on distal margin, orange medially, fading to subhyaline in cells bc and c. C-band and S-band broadly connected along vein R4+5; marginal hyaline area distal to apex of vein R1 triangular, not extended to vein R4+5, its apex aligned with crossvein r-m. Hyaline area in cell br narrow and elongate, well separated from vein R4+5 and ca. 1.67 times as long as distal colored area of cell; cell dm with basal hyaline area moderately large. Basal half of S-band broad, mostly dark brown, orange in posterior half of cell br, in cell dm except distal margin, small basal area in cell cu1, and in cell bcu except posteroapical lobe; posterior margin without distinct incision in cell cu1; distal section of band entirely dark brown or with medial orange area in cell r1 and r2+3 (part anterodistal to r-m), narrow, at apex of vein R2+3 0.38–0.44 times width of cell r2+3, even in width, well separated from apex of vein M; hyaline area proximal to apex of band ending at vein R2+3. V-band incomplete, proximal arm slender, dark brown, fading anterior to vein M, extending to vein R4+5 but well separated from S-band, on posterior margin with long proximal extension almost to vein A1+Cu2; distal arm absent.

Abdomen: Mostly orange. Syntergite 1+2 with medial dark red brown band, broadening posterolaterally, and pair of medial yellow areas, that on posterior margin trapezoidal and 0.85 as wide as tergite. Tergite 3 mostly paler red brown, and female tergites 4 and 5 dark orange brown, all with triangular medial yellow area almost half as wide as tergite. Female tergite 6 and male tergites 4 and 5 dark orange.

Male terminalia: Epandrium with dorsal posterior margin without medial indentation. Lateral surstylus very similar to A. serpentina (Wiedemann) ( Norrbom 2002, figs. 7A–D), moderately long, extended beyond prensisetae by ca. 2.5 times length of prensiseta; in lateral view slightly curved; in posterior view with small basolateral lobe, main part triangular, medial margin convex, lateral margin distal to basolateral lobe slightly convex then slightly concave. Proctiger with ventral and lateral sclerotized areas separated. Phallus 11.3 mm long, 3.14 times as long as mesonotum; glans 0.65 mm long.

Female terminalia: Oviscape 8.00 mm long, 2.06 times as long as mesonotum, straight in lateral view, entirely dark orange; spiracle at basal 0.24. Eversible membrane ( Fig. 25 ) with ca. 30 moderately stout, hooklike dorsobasal scales in 3–4 irregular rows in triangular pattern. Aculeus slightly ventrally curved in lateral view, 7.50 mm long, 0.94 times oviscape length; in ventral view base strongly expanded, 0.24 mm wide; shaft 0.11 mm wide at midlength; tip ( Fig. 36 ) 0.29 mm long, 0.04 times aculeus length, 0.125 mm wide, 2.32 times as long as wide, triangular, gradually tapered to blunt apex, distal 0.66 finely serrate, 0.085 mm wide in lateral view, 0.68 times ventral width. Spermathecae globose.

Distribution. Anastrepha woodleyi is known only from Bolivia.
