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.
