none. Eggs and larvae of Copitarsia turbata (Herrich & Schaeffer) were collected on several horticultural crops in 1991-92 and 1992-93 in locations of the Metropolitan Region of Chile. Trichogramma minutum Riley (Hym.: Trichogrammatidae) was the most important parasitoid of C. turbata eggs; Encarsia porteri (Mercet) (Hym.: Aphelinidae) was found ocassionally. Results demonstrated the importance of tachinids as natural enemies of C. turbata larvae, particularly Incamyia chilensis Aldrich, with some specimens of Archytas scutellatus (Macquart) and Winthemia ignobilis (Wulp); the ichneumonid Netelia gerlingi Schrottkny was also detected.
