The 60,000 described species of Cyclorrhapha (Muscomorpha) (Figures 1-3) are characterized by an unusual diversity in larval life-history traits, which range from saprophagy over phytophagy to parasitism and predation. Act in the transmission of pathogens to humans and animals [1-4]. These diptera are potential mechanical vectors for etiologic agents, such as viruses, bacteria, protozoan cysts and helminth eggs [2]. The Cyclorrhapha is composed of those fl ies where the adult escapes from the pupal case through a circular opening in the anterior end. These fl ies are characterized by the possession of three-segmented antennae where the last segmat bears an arista or style. The suborder Cyclorrhapha (Muscomorpha has historically represented one of three suborders of the Diptera, along with the Nematocera and Brachycera (Figure 1). Recently, it has been proposed that the Brachycera and Cyclorrhapha be combined in an infraorder called the Muscomorpha [5]. Recently, been proposed that the Brachycera and Cyclorrhapha be combined in an infraorder called the Muscomorpha [5].The Cyclorrhapha contains many adult fl ies that are freeliving and many of the fl ies that are true parasites of vertebrates as larval stages. Within this group are the fi lth fl ies (Muscidae), the fl esh fl ies (Sarcophagidae), the blow fl ies (Calliphoridae), and the tse-tse (Glossinidae). Some of these fl ies are parasitic as larvae causing myiasis that may be obligatory or which can be facultative. One last group of these fl ies, the Cuteribridae, causes signifi cant disease in cats through the migration of the large bot-like larval stage that is usually found in the rodents or lagomorphs [6].This study aimed to make a defi nition of Diptera Cyclorrhapha or Muscomorpha, as well as their technical characteristics, interactions and classifi cation.
