[First record of Telenomus podisi (Ashmead) and Trissolcus urichi (Crawford) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) parasitizing eggs of the rice stem bug, Tibraca limbativentris (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), in Santa Catarina, Brazil].
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.
