The family of parasitic wasps Eupelmidae are parasitoids of insect larvae or prepupae, usually hidden in plant tissue or silk sacs in plants, among which those of the order Coleoptera stand out with the largest number of host species. The objective of this research was to record for the first time the wasp Eupelmus pulchriceps Cameron (Hymenoptera:Eupelmidae), as a parasitoid of Callosobruchus phaseoli (Gyllenhal, 1833) (Coleoptera:Chrysomelidae) in pods of the plant Cajanus cajan (L) in Panama. A total of 476 pigeon pea pods were obtained, where a total of 1,953 seeds were counted of which 576 were infested by the pest beetle, C. phaseoli, 228 adults were obtained (169 females; 59 males); in addition, the direct association of a potential controller of this beetle belonging to the family Eupelmidae, identified as E. pulchriceps, was found with 101 individuals, 61 females and 40 males. In conclusion, the following species are reported for Panama C. phaseoli and E. pulchriceps; also, for the first time in the literature, the attack of C. phaseoli as a potential pest of dry grains of pigeon peas is recorded in Panama.
