Agricultural product exports and imports have increased in recent decades. Consequently, global transportation has expanded the geographic distribution of several invasive pest species. Insect pests introduced to new environments can pose risks to native biodiversity and agricultural production, leading to negative environmental and economic impacts. This study aims to report the first record of the Afrotropical species Zaprionus tuberculatus (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Santa Catarina State. The first record of Z. tuberculatus was in March 2023, in fruits of feijoa collected in Caçador, and yellow strawberry guava fruits collected in Videira, Alto Vale do Rio do Peixe region. This species was also recorded in red strawberry guava collected in Caçador in April 2023. We also recorded an increase in fruit species that host Z. tuberculatus in Brazil, with the inclusion of feijoa. These results reinforce the need to monitor this pest in the State, assess its impacts and distribution, and establish future management programs focused on it.
