Neralsia splendens (Borgmeier), was found as a parasitoid Sarcophagula occidua (Fabricius) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) in Triângulo Mineiro ( West Minas Gerais) and South Goiás, Brazil. Ten samples of bovine dung were taken at random, each month, from pats approximately one week old, placed in plastic containers and taken to the laboratory. Arthropods were extracted by flotation in water. Pupae were individually placed in gelatin capsules until emergence of adult flies or their parasitoids. Eighty four and seventeen specimens of Neralsia splendens were collected at Uberlândia and Itumbiara, respectively.
