The 62 described species of parasitoids and hyperparasitoids of the genus Horismenus Walker (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) attack Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Hymenoptera larvae; which are either primary or secondary hosts. The host plants in which they can be found correspond to some 10 angiosperm families distributed along 14 countries of the Neotropical region (Noyes 2003). While examining material from the entomology collection of the Instituto de Ecologia A. C. in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico (IEXA), we found that specimens of Horismenus species had labels with information on hosts, host plants, and distribution records which are definitely new for the genus. Those insects are the result of 25 years of collecting wild type and cultivated bean pods of Phaseolus coccineus L. and P. vulgaris L. (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae), throughout the state of Mexico (Estado de Mexico), Morelos, and Puebla to study the infesting rates of Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say) and A. obvelatus Bridwell (Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae), and its naturally associated parasitoids. The specimens described herein were obtained from isolated seeds in which a bruchid host and Horismenus parasitoids emerged in the same seed. Although, Hansson et al. (2004) identified 4 species of Horismenus in the bruchid beetle parasitoid guild on wild type beans, they did not record specific hosts and host plants. Both Acanthoscelides spp. and Phaseolus spp. can be found at the same time in some localities. It is possible that the analyzed specimens emerged from grouped samples of seeds; thus, it was difficult to certify the specific record. The aim of this note is to record these new specific hosts, host plants, and distribution records from the material deposited in IEXA. We followed Hansson et al. (2004) and identified 131 specimens of 4 Horismenus species. Records of P. coccineus are from the grouped seed samples where both bruchids and other parasi
