Abstract

This research evaluated the diversity of hymenopteran parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) at different reforestation sites of Tectona grandis. Insects were collected with Malaise traps from October 2009 to September 2010. One collected a total of 414 Chalcididae specimens distributed in 3 genera and 16 species. Brachymeria and Conura were the most representative genera with 14 species. The site bordered by pasture vegetation presented a higher number of collected specimens when compared to the other sites. Brachymeria pandora and Ceyxia ventrispinosa occurred as super dominant, super abundant, super frequent and constant species.
