ABSTRACT

This study determined the species of microhymenopterous of Diptera present in cattle and buffalo dung, from May 2003 to June 2004 and from April 2006 to March 2007 in chicken manure. All samples were collected in Southern Goiás State, Brazil. The dipterous pupae were obtained by the flotation method.
