Resumo: | The objective of this work was to assess the parasitism potential of Acarophenax lacunatus (Cross &amp;amp; Krantz) on Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). The experimental units encompassed Petri dishes containing 25 g of wheat infested with 20 adults of this beetle species. After seven days of infestation, different mite densities (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 females) were inoculated into the Petri dishes. The increase in mite density led to a linear increase in parasitism, and a consequent reduction in populations of this insect. It is possible to use this mite species in the biological control of T. castaneum.
