This research work was carried out in order to identify the genera of Braconidae (Hymenoptera) collected in a remnant area of native forest in Itumbiara County, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, using Malaise traps. The Malaise trap captures the insects by interception. After 24 sample collections, a total of 49 specimens from 19 different genera and 10 subfamilies were obtained. The most frequent genus was Chelomus with 34.7% frequency. March and June were the months of highest occurrence of Braconidae.
