Resumen:
In the laboratory, the effect of host fruit species Citrus paradisi, C. aurantium, Prunus persica, and
Psidium guajava on A. fraterculus parasitism by Diachasmimorpha longicaudata was studied. The
number of ovipositor-probing events and the probing-time were documented to evaluate the
role of fruit chemistry, and epicarp and mesocarp thickness, respectively. The relationship
between the parasitization rate and fruit size in particular plant species was analyzed by applying
a simple regression. Results showed that guava and peach yielded significantly more parasitoids
than both Citrus spp. Probably, the parasitization rate of D. longicaudata on A. fraterculus would
be influenced in part by chemical and physical factors from fruit species.
