PARASITOIDS OF DIPTEROUS INSECTS COLLECTED IN ITUMBIARA, GO, AND TUPACIGUARA, MG, BRAZIL

ABSTRACT

This study had the objective of determining the species of parasitoids present in slaughterhouses, in Itumbiara, GO and Tupaciguara, MG, Brazil, from January to December 2005. The dipterous pupae were obtained by the flotation method. They were individually placed in gelatin capsules until the emergence of the flies and/or their parasitoids. The most frequent species were: Brachymeria podagrica (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae), with 80% in Itumbiara, and Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), with 82.4% in Tupaciguara.
