Diptera Mesembrinellidae present great ecological importance as potential bioindicators and Calliphoridae stand out for their medical-sanitary importance as potential vectors of pathogens and causes of human and animal diseases such as myiasis. They beneficially aid in elucidating crimes in forensic entomology, contributing to determine the postmortem interval (PMI) and assisting in the healing process of necrotic wounds in larval therapy. This study aimed to inventory the Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae fauna in order to evaluate structural parameters and to apply faunal indexes in catching species in the Itaipu-Piratininga lagoon complex, in Niterói (Rio de Janeiro), Brazil. The collections were carried out monthly from September 2015 to August 2016 with fish bait (sardines) exposed for 48 h, totaling six traps installed in three physiognomies (mangrove, ombrophilous forest, and restinga). In total, 9,773 individuals were captured, divided into two families, five genera, and 11 species. Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) was the predominant species, while Mesembrinella bellardiana (Aldrich, 1922) was the least representative species, indicating the preservation level of this ecosystem. Ombrophilous forest was the physiognomy with greater diversity and restinga was the physiognomy with greater species dominance. The similarity index indicated greater similarity among the mangrove and restinga populations.
双翅目麻蝇科具有重要的生态意义，可作为潜在的生物指标，丽蝇科因其作为病原体的潜在媒介和引起人类和动物疾病（如蝇蛆病）的重要性而引人注目。它们有助于阐明法医昆虫学中的犯罪行为，有助于确定死后间隔时间（PMI），并有助于幼虫治疗中坏死伤口的愈合过程。本研究旨在调查伊塔伊普-皮拉廷加泻湖复合体（巴西尼特罗伊）中的丽蝇科和麻蝇科动物群，以评估结构参数，并应用动物区系指数来捕捉该地区的物种。从 2015 年 9 月到 2016 年 8 月，每月进行一次采集，使用鱼类诱饵（沙丁鱼）暴露 48 小时，总共在三种生境（红树林、潮湿林和灌丛）中安装了 6 个陷阱。共捕获了 9773 只个体，分为两个科、五个属和 11 个种。丽蝇科的黑边丽蝇（Chrysomya megacephala）是优势种，而麻蝇科的贝拉迪麻蝇（Mesembrinella bellardiana）是最不具代表性的种，这表明了该生态系统的保护水平。潮湿林生境的多样性最大，灌丛生境的物种优势最大。相似性指数表明红树林和灌丛生境之间的种群更为相似。
