Highlights
INT RODUCT ION T he Sarcophagidae are distributed worldwide and contains about 2600 known species (Pape, 1996)
T he percentage parasitism of each parasitoid species was calculated by means of the number of pupae parasitized per species of parasitoid, divided by total number of pupae from that host, and multiplied byx100
RESULT S AND DISCUSSION Collected from 305 pupae Oxysarcodexia thornax (Walker) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), 143 Peckia chrysostoma (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) and 182 of Sarcodexia lambens (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) that emerged 75, 51 and 31 parasitoid species G. semirufa, respectively (T able 1)
Summary
INT RODUCT ION T he Sarcophagidae are distributed worldwide and contains about 2600 known species (Pape, 1996). T he neotropical fauna of Sarcophagidae is very diverse, with over 750 described species (Pape, 1996), and despite this, little is known about the biology of the group in this region. Are dispersed in several families of insects and their adaptation to the parasitic mode of life is more diverse and abundant in Hymenoptera (Panizzi and Parra, 2009).
