I nt ro duc t io n T he fauna of parasitoids which are responsible for the natural control of these dipterous develops
T he objective of this study was to investigate the families of the Hymenoptera parasitoids collected in areas of native forest, using Malaise traps and yellow buckets in western Minas Gerais and southern Goiás
A total of 15827 specimens of parasitoids distributed in 8 superfamilies and 21 families were collected from February to October 2002, of which 10435 in Malaise traps and 5400 in the yellow buckets (T able 1)
Summary
I nt ro duc t io n T he fauna of parasitoids which are responsible for the natural control of these dipterous develops. Among the main natural enemies of insects pest are the parasitoids from the Braconidae, Chalcididae, Pteromalidae, Encyrtidae, Figitidae and other families. Being natural enemies of pests they may be used in biological control programs (Marchiori et al, 2002; Perioto and Lara, 2003; Palmas-Santos and Perez-Maluf, 2012). Insects are considered to be parasitoids if the carnivorous larvae develop by feeding on other arthropods, the so-called hosts (Clausen, 1940).
