They are flies very close to horseflies, including some hematophagous adults, such as Suragina. They are called in English "water snipe flies" or "ibis flies". The study aims to carry out the Biology, Ecology and Biogeography of Athericidae Family. In this study, quantitative and conceptual aspects were used. A selection of articles published from 1912 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events, Doctoral Thesis and Master's Dissertation were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic, Science and ERIC.
