Abstract

Data from a four-year (1981-1984) distributional study suggest that, in Oregon, the apple maggot <i>Rhagoletis pomonella</i> (Walsh) is established in the interior valleys (especially the Willamette Valley) along the Columbia River Gorge and at isolated locations along the Oregon coast. An analysis of the general distribution pattern and some earlier records suggests that the apple maggot may have been in Oregon for nearly four decades.
