“…With regard to Muscidae, there are a number of inventories in Brazil, but unbalanced between the different Brazilian biomes and states. For example, while there is a voluminous literature on Muscidae for the States of Paraná and Rio de Janeiro (e.g., Carvalho et al, 1984;D'Almeida, 1991;Pamplona et al, 2000;Oliveira et al, 2002;Costacurta et al, 2003;Couri & Carvalho, 2005;Leandro & D'Almeida, 2005;Rodríguez-Fernández et al, 2006;Couri & Barros, 2009), the most rich and populous Brazilian State remains with the Muscidae diversity knowledge still incipient. Furthermore, it is relatively scarce the Muscidae surveys in the Neotropics based on the use of non-baited collecting techniques (e.g., Carvalho & Couri, 1991;Costacurta et al, 2003;Rodríguez-Fernández et al, 2006;Krüger et al, 2010;Zafalon-Silva et al, 2018).…”
