Only three are found in Europe and all are associated with woodland, particularly forests of Quercus where the larvae develop in exuding sap from the tree trunks. These flies are also occasionally attracted to carrion. Carles-Tolrá & Garcia Rojo (2015) collected three species in Spain using beef liver.
