This genre is associated to the parasitism of Diptera Order insects, mainly those from the
Phoridae family (Beardsley, 1989; Van Noort et al., 2015) and the Chloropidae family (Kocak and Ozdemlr, 2012).
Nonetheless, because insects are so poorly studied, urban areas contain a surprising number of undescribed species; for example, 43 new species of Megaselia flies (
Phoridae) were recently discovered in Los Angeles, California (Hartop, Brown, & Disney, 2016).
(Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Cryptinae), and Megaselia scalaris (Loew) (Diptera:
Phoridae) in nests of Mischocyttarus cassununga (von Ihering) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) (Soares et al.
Some of them were reported to be Collembola (springtails), Acarina (mites) from the Glycyphagidae family, and Diptera pupae of the
Phoridae family.
El segundo proceso, menos conocido, tiene que ver con las relaciones de mutualismo entre flores de Aristolochia y dipteros de las familias Drosophilidae, Muscidae, Otitidae y
Phoridae y de coleopteros de la familia Staphylinidae.
Mites associated with flies have been the subject of some researchers, such as Fain and Greenwood (1991) who studied scuttle flies (
Phoridae) carrying mites Macrocheles disneyi Fain and Greenwood, 1991 attached to the body to start a new succession of mite; Bermudez and Pachar (2010) reported mites larvae of Leptus sp.

PHORIDAE) AS A PARASITOID OF SPHENARIUM PURPURASCENS PURPURASCENS (ORTHOPTERA: PYRGOMORPHIDAE)
La familia con mayor numero de especies fue la Curculionidae con 13 especies, seguida de Nitidulidae con 4, Syrphidae con 3, Drosophilidea, Apidae (Meliponinae) y
Phoridae con 2 especies cada una (Fig.
They belonged to 16 families: Calliphoridae, Muscidae, Fanniidae, Anthomyidae, Scatophagidae, Sarcophagidae, Syrphidae, Piophilidae, Ulidiidae,
Phoridae, Sphaeroceridae, Empididae, Chloropidae, Sciaridae, Psycodidae and Mycetophilidae.
Flies which come to humans and animals belong to the Calliphoridae, Muscidae, Syrphidae,
Phoridae, Piophilida, Sarcophagidae and Psychodidae families.
grisea two individuals of the family
Phoridae (Diptera) were found.
Essas devem ser fechadas com tela para silk screen para ventilacao e evitar a entrada de moscas, principalmente da especie Megaselia scalaris (Loew, 1866) (Diptera:
