Abstract

We report the first occurrence of Telenomus podisi (Ashmead) and Trissolcus urichi (Crawford) parasitizing eggs of the Rice Stem Bug, Tibraca limbativentris (Stål), in Santa Catarina, Brazil. These species have a high potential of parasitization, pointing them as an alternative for biological control of T. limbativentris.
