Resumen:
In Patagonia, knowledge about the interaction among tephritids and the native fl ora is very scarce. In this study we identifi ed for the fi rst time two tephritid species (Cecidochares sp. and Neosphaeniscus m-nigrum) associated with the capitula of Chuquiraga avellanedae. This is the fi rst record of a host plant for the genus Neosphaeniscus. Cecidochares sp. was more abundant and had a shorter development time than N. m-nigrum. Also, two families of parasitoid wasps (Pteromalidae andEurytomidae) were registered. Further studies are needed to understand the impact ofthese tephritids on C. avellanedae fi tness and their potential to control its populations.
