The Cylindrotominae are one of two subfamilies within the family Cylindrotomidae, comprising approximately 70 phytophagous species. The majority of these develop on or within aquatic plants, such as mosses. [1] Members of this subfamily typically have elongated bodies relative to their wing size. [2]
