Abstract: A survey of the natural enemies of S. frugiperda larvae was done during the years of 1992/93 and 94/95, in Cascavel region, Parana State. The most frequent parasitoids were Campoletis sp. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), which reached 47.0% of parasitism and Archytas marmoratus (Diptera: Tachinidae), which reached 15.4%. Of all Baculavirus found, 10.8% were NPV (nuclear polyhedrosis virus) and only 1 % was GV (granulosis virus).
