RESUMO
The eucoiline species Ganaspis brasiliensis (von Ihering) (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) is recorded for the first time in Argentina, with confirmation of parasitism of Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) infesting healthy raspberry fruit (Rubus idaeus L. cv. "Heritage") still on the plant. Drosophila suzukii puparia were recovered from fruit collected in an organic farm in Tafí del Valle, Tucumán, Argentina. One G. brasiliensis specimen was obtained from an isolated D. suzukii puparium. An additional 83 specimens, deposited in the entomological collection of the Museo de la Plata, Argentina, were also identified as G. brasiliensis. This parasitoid species is distributed in four biogeographical provinces of Argentina. The specimens of G. brasiliensis collected in Argentina are assumed to belong to a worldwide distributed and generalist lineage, parasitizing several Drosophila species. A taxonomic key of known Ganaspis species from Argentina is provided.

New data on Marthiella Buffington (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea, Figitidae), with description of a new species. A new species of Marthiella Buffington (Hymenoptera, Figitidae) from Brazil and Nicaragua is described and illustrated. Rhabdeucoela semirufa Kieffer is transferred to Marthiella and a new combination was established: Marthiella semirufa. A key for identifying species of Marthiella is provided in this study.
