Abstract: 
Larvae (Lonchaeidae Family ) are found under the bark of trees, in tunnels made by bark beetles, in decaying wood and other decaying plant material or debris, such as manure. The larvae of some species form galls on plants (including cereals); others live on juicy fruits. Flies are found on tree trunks, stumps, cut wood, leaves, and in grass. Some species are agricultural pests. The aim of this manuscript was to carry out check the biodiversity of the Lonchaeidae Family (Diptera) related to its biogeography, bioecology, habitat, geographic distribution, taxonomy, life cycle, phenology and taxonomic and conceptual aspects of the Family, Subfamilies and Species. To this end, a bibliographic survey of Ichneumonidae was carried out in the years 1937 to 2022. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events, Doctoral Thesis and Master's Dissertation were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic, Science and ERIC.
