We report for the first time, the presence of parasitoid Spalangia endius Walker (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) in association with the invasive fly Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in the region of North Patagonia (Argentina). This finding is a contribution to the study of natural enemies of this major pest in berries and stonefruit crops. Briefly, we describe the diagnosis and prevalence of the parasitoid.
