[online]. 2003, vol.36, n.5, pp. 629-631. ISSN 0037-8682.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0037-86822003000500016.

The objective of the study was to report the first occurrence of the parasitoid Brachymeria podagrica in pupae of Ophyra aenescens, a fly of medical-sanitary importance. Human feces was used as bait to collect the insects. In the study 20 pupae of Ophyra aenescens (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Muscidae) were obtained, of which 20% of the total yielded the parasitoid Brachymeria podagrica (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae).

Keywords : Medical-sanitary importance; Synanthropy; Parasitoid; Muscoid fly.
