Surveys were conducted using Malaise, Moericke and light traps, and sweep nets over a year, from February 2018 to May 2019. During these samplings four species of Leucospis were captured: L. claudomiroi sp. nov. Perioto and Lara (16 specimens), L. aliena Bouček, 1974 (26), L. enderleini Ashmead, 1904 (five), and L. cayennensis Westwood, 1839 (one). Leucospis aliena and L. enderleini are recorded for the first time in Goiás and Minas Gerais states, while L. cayennensis is newly recorded for Goiás.
