Dasiops  spp. are the most important pest in cultivated  Passiflora  plants. Larvae of these fruit flies are herbivores, feeding on flower buds and fruit of yellow passionfruit, sweet granadilla, banana passionfruit and purple passionfruit crops located in Cundinamarca and Boyaca, Colombia. Geographic distribution, natural abundance and percentage of parasitoidism for every  Dasiops  species by each plant species were determined.  Aganaspis pelleranoi  (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) was found to be a parasitoid of  D. inedulis  (14.19-50.00%), infesting flower buds of yellow passionfruit and fruit of sweet granadilla (7.41%).  Microcrasis  sp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) was found to be parasitizing both  D.gracilis  (0.83-3.13%) and  D. inedulis  (0.83%) in purple and yellow passionfruit.  Trichopria  sp. and  Pentapria  sp. (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) were found to be parasitizing  D. inedulis  (40.00% and 4.17-20.00%, respectively) and  D. gracilis  (1.69-22.22% and 1.67-29.17%, respectively) in purple passion fruit.  Dasiops caustonae  was found to be infesting banana passionfruit only in Boyaca, naturally parasitized by  Pentapria  sp. (11.11-33.33%). Because  Pentapria  sp. had a wide geographical distribution as an idiobiont of  Dasiops  spp. pupae, in all of the assessed cultivated  Passiflora  species, despite a high selection pressure by chemical control distributed at regular calendar intervals, it would be a crucial strategy in pest management control. Collecting fallen flower buds and fruit infested by  Dasiops  spp. is important to truncate the life cycle of fruit flies and allow emergence of parasitoids. This simple cultural strategy could have important implications in reducing production costs, increased crop yields and environmental care.
