This study has allowed to know the species of parasitoids of the family. Braconidae of fall armyworm, an important pest of maize in Durango, which *Genetic Delimitation of Fall Armyworm Parasitoids Isolated in Maize in Durango, Mexico DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.112612*

presented genetic variability, taxonomically their characteristics coincide with the diagnoses established for hundreds of years; however, genetically not. The study does not contemplate its redescription, but it provides important aspects of its genetic characterization, mainly of the genera *Chelonus* and *Meteorus*; these parasitoids contribute to the biodiversity of hymenopteran parasitoids of this pest in the corn region of Durango, which can also be candidates within the biological control of the pest within a context of sustainability and good agricultural practices, contributing to the environment. The delimitation of parasitoid species using taxonomic tools combined with the use of a molecular characterization allowed to clarify taxonomic hypotheses and doubts.
