Zusammenfassung:Oliveira et al present the natural parasitism of Trichogramma pretiosum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) in Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) eggs on tomato (Solanales: Solanaceae) in the Northeast region, Brazil. The tomato fruit borer, Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guenee, 1854) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is considered one of the main pests of the tomato crop, causing direct damage to the fruit, with losses ranging from 20% to 100%. The present study investigated the natural occurrence of parasitoids of the genus Trichogramma in N. elegantalis eggs in commercial tomato farms in the Ibiapaba region, Ceara, Brazil, one of the major producing area of vegetables in the Northeast. N. elegantalis eggs were collected in three tomato production areas, in the Serra da Ibiapaba region, Northwestern Ceara State, Guaraciaba do Norte (04 degrees 10'S and 40 degrees 44' W), Ubajara (03 degrees 51'S and 40 degrees 55' W) and Croata (04 degrees 24' S and 40 degrees 54' W), from 2015 to 2017.
