ABSTRACT
This study reports a new habitat and host for Aleochara notula Erichson, 1839 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) in buffalo dung in Itumbiara, Goiás, Brazil. Manure samples, collected at two-weeks intervals, were taken to the laboratory and the pupae were extracted by water flotation. Each pupa was placed in capsules of colorless gelatin until the emergence of flies or their parasitoids. The parasitism prevalence was 0.33%.
