Diagnosis. Genital capsule broad; volsellae curved, with long straight spur at apex; intervolsellar process little defined; parameres curved; dorsal ridge developed; dorsal lamina broad, short, with distinct posterior extension.

Comments. This species is similar to T. atopovirilia ; both species have a broad genital capsule and marked modifications in the volsellae and parameres. However, T. acacioi does not show an apical constriction of the volsellae, the parameres are arcuate, and the dorsal ridge is long.

Type repository. Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) collection (not found).

Type locality. Jaboticatubas, MG, Brazil.

Distribution in South America. Brazil.

Hosts. Trichogramma acacioi has been reared from six lepidopteran species from agricultural and forest habitats ( Zucchi et al. 2010; Zucchi & Querino 2011). This species is mainly associated with Lepidoptera in forest environments, such as Euselasia sp. ( Lepidoptera : Riodinidae ) on Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) .
