Abstract

This is the first report of Palmistichus elaeisis (Delvare & LaSalle) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), a generalist pupal parasitoid of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, parasitizing pupae of Hypsipyla grandella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a major forest pest in Latin America and the Caribbean. This finding offers new perspectives for the use of parasitoids in biological control programs against pests of mahogany and cedar species in Latin America and the Caribbean.Este trabalho relata a primeira ocorrência do parasitoide Palmistichus elaeisis (Delvare & LaSalle) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) urn parasitoide de Lepidoptera e Coleoptera parasitando pupas de Hypsipyla grandella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Esta descoberta abre novas possibilidades para o uso de parasitoides em programas de controle biologico, visando a gestão desta importante praga de espécies de mogno e cedro, na América Latina e no Caribe
