Abstract: 
Hippoboscidae Samouelle, 1819 is a family of flies (Diptera) consisting of species that are obligatory parasites of several species of mammals and birds. The family includes winged species, with good or reasonable flight capacity, and species with vestigial or even absent wings, incapable of flight and with strong apomorphy. The objective of this collection consists of bibliographical research on the Muscoid dipterans of the Hippoboscidae Family. The research was carried out in studies related to quantitative aspects of the Family, Subfamily and Species (taxonomic groups) and conceptual aspects such as: biology, geographical distribution, methodologies, species, life cycle, damage, economic importance, medicinal importance, biological aspects, monitoring and control and reproduction.
