Initial investory of the aphidiine aphid parasitoids of Costa Rica brought an evidence of 6 genera and 10 species reared from 24 species of aphids. The material was obtained by rearing aphids from both crop and noncrop plants throughout the country.Aphidius colemani and Lysiphlebus testaceipes, which are probably not native to Costa Rica, accounted nearly 90% of all the specimens.
