Título em português: Parasitismo do ácaro Acarophenax lacunatus sobre Tribolium castaneum.  aThe objective of this work was to assess the parasitism potential of Acarophenax lacunatus (Cross & Krantz) on Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). The experimental units encompassed Petri dishes containing 25 g of wheat infested with 20 adults of this beetle species. After seven days of infestation, different mite densities (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 females) were inoculated into the Petri dishes. The increase in mite density led to a linear increase in parasitism, and a consequent reduction in populations of this insect. It is possible to use this mite species in the biological control of T. castaneum.  aAcarophenacidae  abiological control  aTenebrionidae  aControle Biológico  astored wheat  atrigo armazenado1 aFARONI, L.
