Abstract
Search for the parasites of the sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis Fab.) was conducted in five countries in the American Tropics, in three of which actual field and laboratory work was performed. Three dipterous and two hymenopterous parasites were found and shipped to Puerto Rico and Florida, the former receiving 19,063 adults and the latter 3,142. The shipments to Puerto Rico comprised 8,296 flies and 10,767 wasps, while the shipments to Florida totaled 314 flies and 2,828 wasps.Keywords
