Abstract

This study verified the percentage of parasitism and hosts species of the parasitoid Triplasta atrocoxalis (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Figitidae: Eucoilinae) in cattle and buffalo dung, collected in the South of Goiás state, Brazil; from January 1998 to June 2004. The pupae were obtained by the flotation method. They were individually placed in gelatin capsules until the emergence of adult dipterous or their parasitoids.
