Abstract

A new species of fruit fly parasitoid, Opius (Bellopius) hexachaeta Kula and Aguirre (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), is described. The parasitoid was reared from larvae of the genus Hexachaeta (Diptera: Tephritidae) feeding on seeds in entireleaf spiritweed, Aegiphila integrifolia (Jacq.) B.D. Jacks (Lamiales: Lamiaceae). The morphology and taxonomic placement of the new species is discussed.
