Abstract:
In general, Scenopinidae larvae colonize the sandy soils of arid environments or bedding and feed by preying on other terrestrial arthropods. However, they can often be found, always as predators, in other habitats, such as wood and other decaying organic substrates, burrows and nests of mammals and birds, and sometimes in domestic environments. The objective of this manuscript is to carry out a survey of the ethology and bioecology of the Scenopinidae Family (Insecta: Diptera). The research was carried out in studies related to quantitative aspects taxonomic and conceptual aspects. A literature search was carried out containing articles published from 1923 to 2022. The mini review was prepared in Goiânia, Goiás, from September to October 2021, through the Biological Abstract, Periodicals Capes and Scielo.
