Abstract

The occurrence of different parasitoids in eggs of Leptoglossus zonatus on maize, recorded in Itumbiara Country, State of Goias, Central Brazil (18º25'S; 49º13W), is reported in this paper. Variable numbers of specimens of four different species of parasitoids were obtained from naturally infested eggs of the insect pest: 1) five specimens of Anastatus sp. (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae); 2) two specimens of Brasema sp. (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae); 3) 51 specimens of Gryon gallardoi (Brèthes) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae); and 4) six specimens of Trissolcus sp. (Humenoptera: Scelionidae). G. gallardoi was the species most frequently found (79,6%) among the specimens collected. The rate os parasitism of the parasitoids Anastatus sp., Brasema sp., Gryon gallardoi and Trissolcus sp. was 4,4%, 1,8%. 45,1% and 5,3%, respectively.
