Doryctobracon fluminensis ( Lima, 1938)

( Figure 2B )

Diagnosis. Propodeum areolate, fore wing evenly infumate, stigma brown, 2 nd submarginal cell short with 4-sided.

Comments. This is not a common species in fruit-fly surveys, although it has been recorded in five Brazilian states. Doryctobracon fluminensis was described from larvae of A. fraterculus collected in the state of Rio de Janeiro; however, it attacks five others species of Anastrepha as well ( Zucchi & Moraes 2008). Sixty-five years

after the original description, D. fluminensis was rediscovered from larvae of Anastrepha montei Lima in Manihot esculenta Crantz , in the municipality of Rochedo, state of Mato Grosso do Sul ( Uchôa et al. 2003).
