Abstract

This study focused on species of Heimbra Cameron, 1909 (Hymenoptera, Eurytomidae, Heimbrinae), a small genus of chalcid flies poorly represented in entomological collections, from two Brazilian savanna areas in Central Brazil. The surveys were carried out with Malaise, Moericke, light traps and sweep net and lasted from February 2018 to May 2019. Herein we provide new geographical records to H. opaca (Ashmead, 1894) and H. parallela Stage & Snelling, 1986.
