Diaphania hyalinata  (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), popularly known as “melonworm moth”, is considered a main pest of the cucumber, and depending on the intensity of infestation, the damage can reach 100%. Herein, we report the predation of  D. hyalinata  larvae by seven social wasp species:  Brachygastra lecheguana ,  Polybia dimidiata ,  Polybia ignobilis ,  Polybia liliacea ,  Protopolybia minutissima ,  Synoeca surinama  and  Synoeca virginea , and predation of  D. hyalinata  pupae by  Polybia liliacea . We suggest that  Polybia liliacea , should be considered as a potential biological control for cucumbers, due to its high index of captured prey and intense foraging activity.
