Foram utilizadas prioridades de conservação de morfo-espécies e gêneros, importância relativa de sítios e prioridade média para estabelecer um modelo de conservação para o Parque Nacional Serra do Divisor no Estado do Acre, Brasil, baseado na fauna de Bethylidae. Foram instaladas armadilhas Malaise em 12 sítios amostrais nas regiões norte em novembro de 1996 e sul do março de 1997, sendo reconhecidas 102 morfo-espécies de 8 gêneros de Bethylidae, com maior diversidade na região norte do parque. As morfo-espécies exclusivas foram os táxons com maior prioridade de conservação. Os sítios S6, N9, N6 e N5 apresentaram os índices mais altos de importância relativa para conservação por terem sido mais diversos.

Survey of the hymenopterous parasitoids (Insecta, Hymenoptera) from the Parque Estadual da Fonte Grande, Vitória, ES, Brazil. Parasitoids Hymenoptera were collected in a trail inside the Parque Estadual da Fonte Grande (20º17'51.7''S; 40º20'13.1''W), located in an area of the Atlantic Forest, during the period of June 2000 to July 2001. A total of 4,595 specimens, belonging to 28 families, have been collected. Braconidae, Eulophidae, and Scelionidae, were the most common families, with relative abundance of 22.5%, 14.32%, and 13.12%, respectively. Sixteen families showed the relative frequency lower than 1%. A preliminary list with 47 genera of some of the families is included.

Epyris longus sp. nov., Epyris paramedius sp. nov., Epyris distinctus sp. nov. and Epyris variatus sp. nov. from Reserva Biológica de Duas Bocas, Espírito Santo, Brazil are described and illustrated.
