“…The genus Conura presented higher abundance within the Chalcididae collected (88%), and the highest wealth of species (42) (Table 1); similar results were found by Oliveira et al (2014) in plantations of T. grandis in the Cerrado biome. In addition, Marchiori, Penteado-Dias, and Tavares (2003), using a collection methodology different from that used in the present study, reported Haltichella as the genus presenting most abundance and wealth of species.…”

Chalcididae is a family of parasitoids with wide distribution and great richness, with almost 1,500 described species. Its diversity might be greater than that known today, mainly due to the few existing studies and its taxonomic complexity. Studies in semiarid regions are scarce and necessary to contribute to the biogeographic knowledge of the neotropical fauna. Therefore, the objective of this work was to record Chalcididae species that occur in the municipality of Barra do Choça, in the Semiarid region of the state of Bahia, Brazil. Five Malaise traps were distributed in two areas with native vegetation and an area with eucalyptus plantation, which were monitored monthly for two consecutive years. The insects were sorted and specimens of the family Chalcididae were identified at the species level, when possible. A total of 182 specimens from five genera (Aspirrhina Kyrbi, 1883; Brachymeria Westwood, 1829; Conura Spinola, 1837; Dirhinus Dalman, 1818, and Haltichella Spinola, 1811), and 18 species were identified and 32 were morphotyped. The genus Conura was the most abundant and the most diverse, with 12 species identified and 30 potential new species. The native vegetation presented higher abundance and higher taxonomic wealth, mainly in the area at initial stage of succession (capoeira). The eucalyptus area presented low diversity, with predominance of Brachymeria species. The species C. nigricornis presented the highest relative frequency. This study constitutes the first list of Chalcididae species in the Semiarid region of Brazil. The sampling carried out in the state Bahia showed an important diversity of Chalcididae species when compared to other regions of Brazil.

“…Few studies on diversity of Chalcididae in Brazil are found, including those conducted by Oliveira et al (2014) in different sites with plantations of Tectona grandis in the Cerrado biome of the state of Mato Grosso, and by Marchiori, Penteado-Dias and Tavares (2003) in pastures and native forest areas in the state of Goiás.…”

“…The Chalcididae fauna in the pastures and forest were similar between each other at the 92.0% level. Among the Chalcididae specimens collected, the species most frequently found was Haltichella sp.4 (15,7%), followed by Conura sp.1 (13,2%) (Marchiori et al 2003).…”

The climate is predominantly hot with a rainy and a dry season. Second only to the Amazon, the Cerrado occupies an area of more than 2 million km, corresponding to about 25% of the national territory. It is not only the second largest ecosystem in Brazil, but also in all South America. It is known as such in our country, but in other parts of the world it occurs under the name of savannas, which are characterized by vegetation with low trees, spaced shrubs, and grasses. For the elaboration of this mini review, which consists of the construction of a bibliographic summary of the main groups of parasitoids of the Order Hymenoptera, with an emphasis on the hymenopterans parasitoids collected in the Cerrado Biome (savanna). A bibliographic search was carried out that contained papers published from 2001 to June 2021 on the quantitative aspects of Superfamilies, Families, Subfamilies, Genera and Species. The mini review was carried out from February to June 2021. Parasitoids are often called parasites, but the term parasitoid is more technically correct. By definition, insect parasitoids have a free-living adult stage and an immature life stage that develops on or within an insect host and ultimately kills it. After feeding on host body fluids and organs, most parasitoids leave their hosts to pupate or emerge as adults. Parasitoids have a free-living adult stage and an immature life stage that develops on or within an insect host and ultimately kills it. They are effective control agents in pest population.

“…Espécies próximas de B. pandora, tais como B. mnestor (Walker) e B. annulata (Fabricius), também são parasitóides gregários de pupas de algumas famílias de lepidópteros como Noctuidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae e Pyralidae (Gil-Santana & Tavares 2005). No Brasil, B. pandora foi encontrada parasitando pupas de Historis odius (F.) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) em Goiás, Espírito Santo e Rio de Janeiro (Marchiori et al 2003, Gil-Santana & Tavares 2005. Esta nota é o primeiro registro de pupas de A. lota como hospedeiro de B. pandora e a primeira constatação desse parasitóide no Rio Grande do Sul.…”

Up to six adults (three males and three females) of B. pandora were observed to emerge from a single A. lota pupa.
