Abstract

Campopleginae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) fauna in organic crops in Araraquara and São Carlos, São Paulo State, Brazil. From March 2006 to February 2007 twelve samples were performed using Malaise traps in each of the three studied organic crop areas. A total of 1773 specimens were identified in ten Campopleginae genera: Campoctonus Viereck, 1912, Campoletis Föster, 1869, Casinaria Holmgren, 1859, Charops Holmgren, 1859, Cryptophion Viereck, 1913, Diadegma Föster, 1869, Dusona Cameron, 1900, Hyposoter Förster, 1869, Microcharops Roman, 1910 e Venturia Schrottky, 1902. The richness and diversity of genera indices found were very similar. A low evenness was observed with Campoletis, Venturia and Casinaria being the most common and abundant genera.
