The aim of this work was to search about the parasitoids species associated to Anastrepha sp. pupae on guava Psidium guajava L. groves in Lavras, MG - Brazil. Fruits with signs of infestation, including oviposition punctures, were picked and placed in plastic containers, under a layer of thin sand, which was utilized as environment for the pupae phase. The pupae were individualized on glass vials containing sand and the emerged fruit flies or theirs parasitoids were collected. A total of 190 Anastrepha sp. Pupae was obtained from which emerged 38 parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Figitidae), being 20 of Aganaspis pelleranoi (Brèthes, 1924) and 18 of Dicerataspis sp., corresponding to a natural parasitism of 20%.
