Abstract

Pinheiro et al discuss the association between Brachymeria minuta and Thyrinteina arnobia in the world. Brachymeria minuta is, usually, a gregarious parasitoid in Lepidoptera, and solitary in Diptera, due to the host size and weight. This natural enemy parasitized pupa of important insect pests. Brachymeria minuta also parasitizes synantropic dipterans, such as Musca domestica Linnaeus.
