Abstract
Abstract: Were found larvae, pupae, and adults of the parasitoid Strongygaster Macquart, 1834 (Diptera; Tachinidae; Strongygastrini) considered to be the second largest family of Diptera that endoparasite arthropods especially insects in larval phase. This work describes the first occurrence of parasitoids associated with the beetle Lagriavillosa F. (1783) (Coleoptera; Polyphaga; Tenebrionidae) in the Northwestern region of the Parana State, Brazil. Because of feeding habits, the larvae associated with the abdominal and intestinal contents of L. villosa may be ingested in the form of eggs with the decaying organic matter present in the soil. Keywords: Behaviour; parasites; natural biological control; beetle.
