- Abstract
This study aimed to ascertain the species of parasitoids of Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) that were collected in two areas of the central region of Goiás. This experiment was conducted in two places: on the farm of the School of Veterinary and Animal Science of the Federal University of Goiás, Brazil (rural area - 1), and on the campus of the Federal University of Goiás in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil (urban area - 2). Parasitoids were collected by exposing larvae of M. domestica and its breeding substrate (beef liver) outdoors, in containers filled with sand that were placed next to garbage containers. From March to December 2015, 67 species of parasitoids were collected; 39.3% of the individuals were obtained in rural area and 60.7% in urban area. In both locations, Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) was the most frequent species, with 79.2% and 62.0% in the rural and urban areas, respectively. The percentage of parasitism in urban area was 6.9%, and in rural area 9.1%.
