Description

PALLOPTERIDAE

What is known of the biology of this family suggests that some species are phytophagous while others may be carnivorous or mycophagous. According to the checklist (Belcari et al. 1995), the species previously known from Sicily were Palloptera umbellatarum (Fabricius, 1775) and P. usta (Meigen, 1826).
