Remarks — This species was described from Brazil ( Haitlinger 2004b) and captured on plants from a single specimen. Mayoral and Barranco (2011) captured this species in Costa Rica parasitizing Neoconocephalus triops Linnaeus 1758 ( Tettigoniidae , Conocephallinae). Now, we report C. domawiti from French Guiana parasitizing two species of Acrididae (Orthoptera) . This is the third report of this species worldwide. The hosts known for this species are all different species of Orthoptera . However, this species is able to parasitize the two different suborders, the long-horned (Ensifera) and the short-horned Orthoptera (Caelifera) .
