Larvae were collected from two microhabitats, at the margins of streams burrowing among instream vegetation or occurring in leaf packs at the bottom of small creeks. Larvae of different instars were collected throughout the year, suggesting a semivoltine life cycle. Larvae prey on small dipteran larvae and culicomorph head capsules (Fig. 15) have been recovered from the gut contents (the digestive tract has a well-developed proventriculus bearing several sharp teeth, (Fig. 16)). Larvae probably prey on other small aquatic arthropods. This information is in agreement with other studies of sialid larvae.

However, larvae of four of the genera are still unknown. Despite that all known sialid larvae are relatively similar morphologically; we did find several morphometric characters useful to distinguish known genera. More detailed descriptions of other sialid larvae will surely provide additional characters to diagnose larvae at generic and specific levels.</paragraph>
