The period pupal stage of Dermatobia hominis has been studied from third instar larvae, extracted from cattle, under ambient temperature conditions. Emergency of adults of D. hominis ranged from 6.7% to 42.9%. The pupal stage duration ranged from 23 to 37 days, with average of 27.4 days. The average duration of this stage (27.0 days), in males, was significantly lower (P < 0,01) than the females (27.7 days). It has been showed a significant Pearson correlation (r = - 0.90, P < 0.01) between pupal stage duration and minimum and maximum temperatures averages.
