Summary: Since its detection in Brazil in 1901, the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) has continuously extended its occurrence in Brazil. The last Brazilian states in the North region of the country without records of the Mediterranean fruit fly were invaded in the current decade - Acre and Roraima in 2017 and Amapá in 2022 - leaving only the state of Amazonas to complete the spread of the Mediterranean fruit fly in all Brazilian states. In the state of Amazonas, the Mediterranean fruit fly was detected in a mango fruit purchased at a commercial establishment. This record is an alert to phytosanitary agents to establish strategies to monitor the occurrence of this pest in the state. We also discuss the first records of C. capitata in each Brazilian state, establishing the chronological order of these records in Brazil from 1901 to 2024.
