The invasive drosophilid pests Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) and Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) were captured in traps baited with hydrolyzed protein lures during a trial aimed at monitoring Anastrepha flies infesting guava, Psidium guajava L. (Myrtales: Myrtaceae) in Xico, Veracruz, Mexico, during Sep 2014. This is the first record of these species in Veracruz State. These exotic species represented over 80% of the total drosophilid flies captured. Studies on the commercial impact of these pests in guava and in the production of other fruit species in the region should be considered a priority.
