Abstract

This paper reports, for the first time, the occurrence of the parasite Spalangia drosophilae (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) in pupae of Archisepsis scabra (Diptera: Sespsidae) found in cow manure in the municipality of Cachoeira Dourada, GO, Brazil (18o29´S and 49o´W). Manure samples, collected at two-week intervals, were taken to the laboratory, and the pupae were extracted by water flotation. Each pupa was placed in capsules of colorless gelatin until the emergence of adult flies or their parasites. The parasitism prevalence was 5.7%.
