The species of microhimenopterous in pupae of Diptera present in buffalo dung, collected in the municipality of Itumbiara, GO, from May 2003 to June 2004 were determined. The dipterous pupae were obtained by the flotation method. They were individually placed in gelatin capsules until the emergence of the dipterous and/or their parasitoids. The overall percentage of parasitism was 5.0%. The more frequent species were: Spalangia drosophilae Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) with 21.5% and Paraganaspis egeria Díaz & Gallardo (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) with 16.3%.

ABSTRACT This study reportsa new habitat for Trichopria sp. (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) found in buffalo dung in Itumbiara, Goiás, Brazil. Manure samples, collected at two-week intervals, were taken to the laboratory and the pupae were extracted by water flotation.

RESUMO Este estudo teve como objetivo determinar as espécies de microhimenópteros parasitóides de Diptera presentes em fezes de bovinos e de búfalos, coletadas no Sul de Goiás, no período de maio de 2003 a junho de 2004. As pupas dos dípteros foram isoladas pelo método de flutuação, individualizadas em cápsulas de gelatina até a emergência das moscas e/ou dos seus parasitóides. A prevalência de parasitismo observada em fezes de bovinos e de búfalos foi de 12,4% e 5,0%, respectivamente.
