Aphidiinae species (19 identified, 7 unidentified)) in the high altitudes of Central and South America were faunisticaly analyzed. Most of the lowland area are inhabited by a set of pan-tropical, cosmopolitan, and Nearctic parasitoid species associations, whereas the higher altitudes of Central and northern South America are characterized by a mix of trans-zonaL species and a rather specific fauna. The Nothofagus-aphid-parasitoid associations are endemic and distributed from the high Andes down to western Patagonia.
