Abstract

Triatoma dimidiata is the main vector of Chagas disease in Central and South America. We report for the first time, the wasp Telenomus fariai parasitizing eggs of T. dimidiata at Yucatan, Mexico. Specimens of different life stages of T. dimidiata were collected in January and February 2020 in fields at Tekik de Regil. In total, 135 eggs of T. dimidiata were collected of which 25 were parasitized. Parasitoids that emerged were identified as Telenomus fariai (41 ♀ and 7 ♂).
