This is the first report of
Trichospilus diatraeae
(Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) found in the field, parasitizing pupae of the eucalyptus defoliating
Sarsina violascens
(Herrich-Schaeffer, 1856) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) in Brazil. This offers a new perspectives for
the use of this parasitoid in biological control programs against caterpillars of forestry importance.
