Eupelmus vuilletti is a species of parasitic wasp[1] found in Burkina Faso and Togo.[2] It parasitizes bruchids, and is a solitary ectoparasite.[1] The female is about 3 millimetres (0.12 in) in length, and the male averages 2.25 millimetres (0.089 in). The former is coloured green with bronzy tints, and the latter is green with a brassy tint.[3]

This wasp is synovigenic. It is also an income breeder in terms of sugars, but a capital breeder in terms of lipids.[4]
