Braconid wasps were collected with Malaise traps every&nbsp;15 days over one year (June 2008 to June 2009). A total of 2,476 specimens were inventoried comprising&nbsp;233 species and 63 genera. The composition of braconids and their lifestyles differed among the three&nbsp;vegetation communities studied. Doryctinae was the most diverse and abundant subfamily in RLBR (40 genera, 145 species, 990 specimens) and the tropical deciduous forest recorded the maximum abundance and diversity (H&rsquo;= 4.1; alpha value= 1.059), with 61 exclusive species. Phenological sequence indicates an influence of the rainy season in braconid diversity, but its effects differed among braconid subfamilies and among the vegetation communities. Finally, the importance of the RBRL as a conservation site for this hymenopterous wasp is discussed.</p>
