ABSTRACT
This study reports new habitat and host for the parasitoid Trichopria sp. (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) which were collected from pupae of Peckia chrysostoma (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) by means of traps containing some bovine kidney baits in Lavras, Minas Gerais, Brazil, in December of 2003. A total of 41 specimens of the parasitoid Trichopria sp. were collected from 155 pupae of P. chrysostoma. The prevalence of parasitism was 0.65%. This study reports the first occurrence of poliembriony in Trichopria sp. in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
