ABSTRACT
From May 2003 to June 2004, collections were made using the Moericke trap placed in an agricultural area in Rio Claro (22º20’S, 47º32’O), SP, Brazil, resulting in the capture of a total of 5,308 specimens of parasitoids, belonging to 8 superfamilies and 22 families. Mymaridae, Encyrtidae, Scelionidae and Platygastridae were the most common families, being responsible for 30.88%, 19.05%, 14.96% and 6.69% of the total number of parasitoids collected, respectively.
