This study determined the species of hosts of the parasitoid Hemencyrtus herbertii Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) in human feces, cattle liver and chicken viscera, collected in Itumbiara, Goias. The pupae were obtained by the flotation method. They were individually placed in gelatin capsules until the emergence of adult flies or their parasitoids. The overall prevalence of parasitism was 23.7%.
