<abstract language="eng">The species of microhimenopterous in pupae of Diptera present in buffalo dung, collected in the municipality of Itumbiara, GO, from May 2003 to June 2004 were determined. The dipterous pupae were obtained by the flotation method. They were individually placed in gelatin capsules until the emergence of the dipterous and/or their parasitoids. The overall percentage of parasitism was 5.0%. The more frequent species were: Spalangia drosophilae Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) with 21.5% and Paraganaspis egeria Díaz & Gallardo (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) with 16.3%.
