Abstract
The diversity and hosts of Trichogramma in the New World, with emphasis in South America, is presented. All the 94 Trichogramma species recorded in the Americas and their habitats were listed. Sixty species are recorded in North America, 22 in Central America and 41 in South America. Also, a list of the South American species with their respective host insects, distribution and associated plants was updated. In South America, Brazil is the country with the highest number of native species known. Trichogramma species are mainly associated to lepidopterous economically important, mostly in the family Noctuidae.
