Regarding accidental myiasis caused by Diptera of the Syrphidae family, the clinical case of a 27-year-old Chilean female patient was reported for the first time, who in a menstrual period presented a sensation of foreign body moving in the vaginal region and then expelled Larvae that were identified as third instar larvae of Eristalis tenax (Diptera: Syrphidae) (10).

En esta ocasion, se presenta un caso que se considero en principio como una miasis intestinal por Eristalis tenax, pero que se reviso epidemiologicamente en detalle, para poder llegar a una conclusion concreta y satisfactoria de la situacion real.
La larva fue llevada al Laboratorio de Parasitologia de la Escuela de Bioanalisis de la Universidad del Zulia y en base a su caracteristicas morfologicas fue identificada como larva de Eristalis tenax (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Syrphidae), Figura 1.
