First record of Euplectrus floryae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)parasitizing Erinnyis ello (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) in Brazil. Rev. Colomb. Entomol. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.1, pp.166-167. ISSN 0120-0488.

This is the first report of Euplectrus floryae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in Brazil and also the first report of this species parasitizing larvae of Erinnyis ello (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) on cassava. The occurrence of E. floryae on larvae of this pest on cassava opens up the possibility to integrate this natural enemy in biological control programs for cassava crops.
