| Spanish abstract | Se identificaron como Melittobia digitata Dahms ejemplares de un parasitoide atacando pupas de Anastrepha ludens (Loew) proveniente de México. Luego de revisar numerosas colecciones de insectos de diversas partes del mundo, pudimos encontrar también a M. australica (Girault) en el país. Se presenta la distribución, diagnosis, hospedadores y lugares en los cuales se han colectado ambas especies. Se discute la posibilidad que M. acasta (Walker) también se encuentre en el país |
