摘要：
The "humpbacked fly" Megaselia scalaris (Loew, 1866) is a Dipterous-Phoridae fly specie with a cosmopolitan distribution and a high degree of synantropy. Their larvae are very easyly reared in the laboratory, and can be found in detritivorous, facultative predators, parasites and parasitoids. In the present short communication is describe for the first time the infestation of laboratory colonies of Rhodnius prolixus Stal, 1859 (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae), the main vector of Chagas disease in Venezuela, by M. scalaris (Loew, 1866) larvae. Nearly 90% (2687/2992: 89,81%) of triatomine individuals in a highly overcrowded and moisturized (>90%), colony containers were infested by M. scalaris (Loew, 1866) larvae. The significance of these results for the maintenance of triatomine colonies, is discussed.
