Introduction
Most Nemotelinae larvae are aquatic. Lasiopa villosa is found in wet soil under leaf litter. The larvae of Brachycara and Pselaphomyia are unknown. Adults are found on flowers (Woodley 2001).
Relationship of Nemotelinae to Other Stratiomyidae
Nemotelinae have been a subordinate group of Stratiomyinae and Clitellariinae. Woodley (2001) posited that they are related to Stratiomyinae and Raphiocerinae based on their aquatic larvae. Brammer and von Dohlen (2007) found a sister relationship between Nemotelinae and Sarginae using molecular data.
