The Pediciinae are a subfamily of "hairy-eyed" flies in the family Pediciidae, closely related to the Tipulidae (true crane flies). The subfamily comprises approximately 450 described species worldwide. Many genera, including Pedicia , are robust and inhabit aquatic or semi-aquatic environments, with larvae that are predatory on other aquatic invertebrates. ^[1]
