Family Acroceridae (Insecta: Diptera) as Parasitoids of Spiders (Arthropoda: Arachnida)

The larvae of the Acroceridae family are heteromorphic parasitoids (endoparasitoids) of several spiders miless and mites are the common designation analyzed animals belonging to the Acari subclasse   da class and their images show great morphological variation. They are most commonly   llected when a spider from the field is brought into captivity. The aim of this paper is to gather more information about the biology of the Family Acroceridae. The bibliographic search used the following databases: Biological Abstract (https://www.ebsco.com/products/research-databases/biological-abstracts), Academia.edu  (https://www.academia.edu/), Researchgate (https://www.researchgate.net/) and Frontiers (http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/). The articles were published in 2002. to 2022 in indexed scientific research, book scientific chapters, theses banks, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles, scientific journals, documents and even in general journals when considered of interest.
