Summary

Introduction

1- Introduction Among the order Hymenoptera, parasitoids are the group with the greatest species richness, so much so that Eggleton (1990) emphasized that their diversity is so great that the need for basic collections has preceded ecological observations. T he objective of this study was to report the species of parasitoid immature stages of Diptera obtained using pitfall traps and metal container traps in Brasil. T o obtain the parasitoids, the contents of the traps were placed in plastic containers with a layer of sand for use as a substrate for transformation of the larvae into pupae.
