Knowledge of the dipterofauna of a given area is of great importance to know its biodiversity. For some representatives are considered bioindicators and show evidence about the environmental quality of a region. The study aimed to conduct a survey of the order Diptera in different environments in the Inhamum Environmental Protection Area, Caxias-MA. For the study, the experimental area was divided into Area 1 Gallery Forest and Area 2 Cerrado. Six samples were collected from October 2017 to March 2018. Using Provid Traps. Six parallel transects were installed in each area, with a distance of approximately 10 m from each other and in each transects five equidistant sampling units were marked, so that 30 points were sampled in each area, totaling 60 points. The present study obtained a total of 1,040 Diptera specimens in both areas, being 479 specimens and 22 families for Area I and 561 specimens and 23 families for Area II. The survey of families of the order Diptera conducted in the Inhamum Environmental Protection Area points to the richness of specimens existing in the highlighted areas of this study. Wealth estimators show that more research needs to be done as there must be rare specimens in the region.
