Abstract: 
Over the years the muscoid dipterans have always they were associated with man and domestic animals, due to the food resources found in the breeding stables. The aim of this study is to carry out a bibliographic summary about mammalian ectoparasites, phoresia, scorpion parasitoid flies (Arachnida: Scorpiones), ants and also the life cycle of these dipterans. The mini-review consists of a literature search on dipterans (Order: Diptera) and scorpion parasitoids (Arachnida: Scorpiones). The research was carried out in studies related to the theme with an emphasis on quantitative and conceptual aspects of Family, Subfamilies, Genera and Species (taxonomic groups). A literature search was carried out containing articles published from 2000 to 2021. The mini-review was prepared in Goiânia, Goiás, from July to August 2021, through the Online Scientific Library (Scielo) and internet.
