            Abstract

            Há alguns registros de artrópodes utilizando ninhos abandonados de vespas sociais (Vespidae: Polistinae), porém estes registros ainda são escassos, e novos dados são necessários para identificar ocupações e relações destes ocupantes com seus parasitas/parasitoides. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi relatar a ocupação de ninhos de vespas sociais abandonados por diferentes Hymenoptera e possíveis associações entre ocupantes e parasitas/parasitoides. Dez ninhos de vespas do gênero Polistes foram coletados por meio de busca ativa no campus Bambuí do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Minas Gerais, em área de Cerrado. Destes, cinco apresentaram emergência de outros Hymenoptera, pertencentes a quatro famílias distintas: Crabronidae (3 spp.): Trypoxylon (Trypargilum) aurifrons Shuckard, Trypoxylon (Trypargilum) nitidum Smith e Trypoxylon (Trypoxylon) marginatum Cameron; Vespidae (Eumeninae): Pachodynerus nasidens (Latreille); Chrysididae (Chrysidinae): Caenochrysis parvula (Fabricius); e Ichneumonidae: Photocryptus fumartus (Hancock). As associações registradas sugerem possíveis interações entre os ocupantes de ninhos abandonados, como Crabronidae e vespas solitárias construtoras de ninhos de lama, e possíveis parasitas e parasitoides: Chrysididae e Ichneumonidae, respectivamente.
