2F2587AFFFF4C71E8AB8FA02FD6E3BD3.taxon	discussion	Comments. This parasitoid can be separated from other species discussed here by the fore wing m-cu arising from a shortened 2 nd submarginal cell 5 - sided. It is originally from the Indo-Australian Region. Diachasmimorpha longicaudata has been used in several biological control programs in Latin America (Ovruski et al. 2000), because it adapts readily to several pest fruit flies. In Brazil, it was introduced in 1994 by “ Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura ” (Carvalho et al. 1995) and is present in 10 states. Some studies on D. longicaudata, such as the olfactory response (Silva et al. 2007), field dispersal, rates of parasitism and field survival when reared in two hosts (Camargos et al., 2016, 2018), and learning behavior of the female related to two essential oils (Zadra et al. 2018) have been conducted in Brazil. D. longicaudata has recently been certified as a biological insecticide in Brazil, as it was published in the Federal Register, on September 3, 2018, edition 170, section 1, p. 127, based on Joint Normative Instruction nr. 2 on August 8, 2018.	en	Marinho, Cláudia F., Costa, Valmir A., Zucchi, Roberto A.

2F2587AFFFF4C71E8AB8FD34FBBF3885.taxon	discussion	Comments. Microcrasis lonchaeae is rarely found in surveys of fruit flies on fruit in Brazil. It was originally described as Opius lonchaeae, and later renamed Alysia lonchaeae by Lima (1938). Wharton (1980) transferred this species to the genus Microcrasis, based on the morphology of the fore wing. In Brazil, Lima (1937, 1938) associated M. lonchaeae with Neosilba pendula (Bezzi), as Silba pendula and Lonchaea pendulans [sic] in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo (Fernandes 2009). In São Paulo, Fernandes (2009) obtained M. lonchaeae in the same sample where species of Anastrepha and C. capitata emerged, although it is not clear which host, or if both hosts were parasitized. This parasitoid is also found in Santa Catarina (Canal & Zucchi 2000).	en	Marinho, Cláudia F., Costa, Valmir A., Zucchi, Roberto A.

It is close to D. areolatus and D. whartoni but is differentiated from both by morphometric and molecular data (Marinho et al. 2017), and also by wing color (see key). Doryctobracon adaimei occurs in the states of Amapá (Deus et al. 2010; Silva et al. 2011; Adaime et al. 2018), Amazonas (Dutra et al. 2013), Goiás (Veloso et al. 1996; Braga-Filho et al. 2001), Roraima (Amorim 2003; Ronchi-Teles 2008; Marsaro Junior et al. 2008; 2009; 2010) and Tocantins (Bomfim et al. 2007), parasitizing larvae of Anastrepha coronilli Carrejo & González, A. atrigona Hendel, A. fraterculus (Wiedemann) and A. striata Schiner. For a long time, D. adaimei was referred in the Brazilian literature as Doryctobracon sp. 2 (Marinho et al. 2017).	en	Marinho, Cláudia F., Costa, Valmir A., Zucchi, Roberto A.

2F2587AFFFF2C7188AB8FECAFCF13F30.taxon	discussion	Comments. This is the most widespread fruit-fly parasitoid in the New World. In Brazil, D. areolatus is widely distributed, and it is the most common and abundant species parasitizing several Anastrepha species and Ceratitis capitata (Leonel Junior et al. 1 995; Canal & Zucchi 2000; Zucchi & Moraes 2008, 2012). Doryctobracon areolatus comprises a complex of cryptic species, and recently two new species closely similar to this parasitoid, D. adaimei and D. whartoni, were described (Marinho et al. 2017). Probably D. areolatus forages only on fruits still on the tree, as it did not forage on fallen fruits in a shade house (Silva et al. 2007). Doryctobracon areolatus is a parasitoid of the larva / pupa, but it can also parasitize eggs of A. obliqua, as reported in Mexico (Murillo et al. 2015). Studies on biological parameters and the potential use of D. areolatus as a biological agent for control of fruit flies are being carried out in Brazil (Nunes et al. 2011).	en	Marinho, Cláudia F., Costa, Valmir A., Zucchi, Roberto A.

2F2587AFFFF0C71A8AB8FCA7FB603939.taxon	discussion	Comments. Opius bellus belongs to the subgenus Bellopius Wharton, which is constituted of Neotropical species associated with tephritids, and it is characterized by the absence of the occipital carina and notauli (Wharton 1997). Opius bellus has dark-brown tibiae. In Brazil, some specimens have dark-brown tibiae and others have yellowish tibiae. These specimens were considered as Opius sp. aff. bellus for about two decades. However, based on geometric morphometry and molecular analyses, it was concluded that specimens with yellowish tibiae actually belong to O. bellus as well (Marinho et al. 2014). Opius bellus is quite common in several fruit-fly surveys, recorded in 22 Brazilian states, and is predominant in the state Amazonas (Canal et al. 1994, 1995) and Piauí (Araújo et al. 2014, Vilanova et al. 2016, Souza et al. 2017). It parasitizes 19 species of Anastrepha, including some of economic importance, and C. capitata (see Zucchi & Moraes 2008; 2012).	en	Marinho, Cláudia F., Costa, Valmir A., Zucchi, Roberto A.

Utetes anastrephae was originally described as Opius anastrephae by Viereck in 1913, and was transferred by Fischer (1977) to the genus Bracanastrepha. Wharton (1988) retained Bracanastrepha as a subgenus of Utetes, where the species from the New World with a distinct carina at the base of the posterior tibia were placed. Utetes anastrephae is distributed throughout the Neotropical Region, and may be a complex of closely related species with subtle differences in ovipositor length, body sculpturing and host preference (Wharton 1997). It is the only species of Utetes recorded from species of Anastrepha. It occurs in 20 states in all five Brazilian regions, and has been found associated with 16 species of Anastrepha and with C. capitata (see Zucchi & Moraes 2008; 2012).	en	Marinho, Cláudia F., Costa, Valmir A., Zucchi, Roberto A.
