This project aims to contribute to the knowledge of Diptera biodiversity, whether under taxonomic aspects (taxonomic revisions, description of new genera and species, redescription of species, elaboration of identification keys and maps of geographic distribution), systematics (based on cladistics analyzes, to test the monophyly of taxa and propose hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships…
This study intends to make a valuable contribution to the knowledge of the diversity of neotropical chloropids, chironomids and micro bee flies, with an emphasis on the Brazilian fauna through the development of new tools to identify the diversity of unknown flies. One of the central scientific contributions of this project will be the substantial increase in the availability of genetic d…

Biological control is a vital component of Integrated Pest Management, promoting sustainable control methods. Parasitoid insects are essential natural enemies against various pests, but our understanding of their oviposition strategies and host usage is limited. Obtaining ecological data on these organisms is challenging due to difficulties in field observation. Therefore, investigating t…
Dolichopodidae is the fourth most speciose family of Diptera, with over 8,000 nominal species, present in all biogeographical regions of the globe. Its monophyly is well supported by both morphological and molecular data. However, most of its subfamilies still lack cladistic studies. Sympycninae is one of the most diverse and complex subfamilies, comprising about a thousand species alloca…
The Carpocorini tribe is the most diverse of the Pentatominae subfamily, with more than 450species distributed in 100 genera. The genus Euschistus Dallas, 1851, stands out for being themost diverse genus of the tribe, with 67 species, and for presenting species associated with extensive damage to important monocultures, such as Euschistus servus (Say, 1832) in cotton, corn and soybeans in…
The asilids constitute one of the most diverse families of Diptera with more than 460 species recorded in Brazil. Its representatives are exclusively predators, both as adults and as larvae. They feed through highly specialized mouthparts that they use to pierce prey and inject saliva. Due to their ability to prey on various insects, they play an important ecological role in population co…

In Brazil, chemical control is widely used, alongside integrated pest management, however, its inappropriate use generates several environmental and social problems. Therefore, biological control, which is one of the integrated pest management techniques, is known as one of the best alternatives to solve these problems. Nevertheless, it is a field that presents a lot of potential to be de…
Chironomidae is one of the most speciose and widespread families of Diptera (Insecta). Immature individuals are common inhabitants of several types of water bodies, where they play an important role in the ecosystems dynamics. Historically, most of the ecological information on Chironomidae regards the immature forms, while aerial adults have been the focus of taxonomic studies only. The …
When two interacting lineages live in intimate association during much or all or their diversification, it is possible assume that speciation in one group is paralleled to the other. Such diversification mode may result in a pattern of shared evolutionary history between two lineages, known as speciation. Others coevolutionary phenomena such as host-switching, duplication, extinction, "mi…
The species of Phthiriinae are present in all biogeographic regions of the Earth, it is presently composed by 133 recognized valid species distributed in 11 genera. The single previous phylogenetic hypothesis of Phthiriinae presents the subfamily divided in two tribes, Phthiriini Becker, 1913, with seven genera: Acreotrichus Macquart, 1850, Australiphthiria Evenhuis, 1986, Pygocona Hull,…
