Study of four families of the suborder Brachycera (Insecta: Diptera)

The mini-review aims to verify the themes of the Asteiidae, Lauxiniidae, Mydidae, and Neriidae families such as morphology, biology, and systematics. In terms of the type of research source, we worked with scientific articles published in national and international journals. This modality of production, in addition to being commonly the most valued in the set of bibliographic production, is the most easily accessed. Access to articles was through virtual libraries such as Scielo (http//www.scielo.org [http://http//www.scielo.org]), ResearchGate (https://www.researchgate.net/signup.SignUp.html), and SSRN (https://hq.ssrn.com/login/pubsigninjoin.cfm). Considering only this section constitutes a limitation of the study since articles belonging to journals that integrate other sections of the electronic library could also contribute to the discussion of knowledge production and the writing of interpretative syntheses of each theme.
