A principal pest of maize, Zea mays L., in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, is the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith).

In the present work, we reported for the first time Distichona auriceps Coquillett and Hypovoria discalis (Brooks) parasitizing 1.8 and 0.92%, respectively, of S. frugiperda larvae in maize at Guanajuato, México.
