    Exploration for parasitoids of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) was conducted in Cameroon and Togo, and parasitoids collected were released in Costa Rica. Collections yielded large numbers of Opius perproximus Silvestri, Biosteres caudatus Sizepligeti, and B. caudatus auct. (Opiinae: Braconidae). Other Opiines collected were B. fullawayi (Silvestri), B. desideratus (Bridwell), and an undescribed species of Opius. Parasitization of tephritids in coffee ranged from 10-56%, with an average 35% parasitism in a research plantation and 17% in a commercial plantation. Parasitism in fruits other than coffee was less than 5%. The most commonly reared tephritids from coffee were Trirhithrum coffeae Bezzi and C. (Pterandrus) anonae Graham. C. capitata occurred in low frequency in coffee, and adults were rarely observed. Other rearings included T. albonigrum (Enderlein), T. sp. nr. validum Bezzi, T. nigerrimum auct. nec. Bezzi, C. (Pterandrus) colae Silvestri, C. (Pterandrus) flexuosa (Walker), C. (Ceratalaspis) spp. cosyra (Walker) group, C. (Pardalaspis) sp. punctata (Wiedemann) group, C. (Ceratalaspis) giffardi Bezzi, Dacus (Dacus) bivittatus (Bigot), D. (Didacus) ciliatus Loew, and Gymnodacus sp.
