Abstract: 
Most Diptera belong to the Brachycera, a group characterized by the reduction or fusion of antennal segments to eight or fewer and by modifications to the larval head and mouthparts. The larvae of most species are predatory, although there are a few parasitoid groups as well. From a methodological point of view, the research was conducted using bibliometric and content analysis approaches. Bibliometrics is guided by the principle of analyzing scientific or technical activity through quantitative studies of publications, that is, through this approach. Document analysis was used as a data collection method to gather information from theoretical books, banks, university dissertations, scientific journals, documents, and digital platforms.
