ABSTRACT
It was carried out a study of the parasitóids in calttle dung pats. The objective of the samples was to verify the frequency of the parasitoids regard as important in the control of Diptera in Itumbiara and Cachoeira Dourada in Goiás. Twenty samples of bovine dung were taken at random, each month, from pats fifteen days old, placed in plastic containers and taken to the laboratory. The puparies were extracted by flotation in water. It was noticed that the dung collected from the pasture presented a higher number of individuals and a diversity of species. The species of Spalangia can be considered the most important natural enemies of Diptera collected from cattle dung in Itumbiara and Cachoeira Dourada in Goiás.
