| Adults of some Dolichopodinae have elongate mouthparts and are known to be anthophilous and feed on nectar. |
| At least seventy-one families of Diptera contain anthophilous species, and flies are pollinators of more than eleven hundred species. |
| We argue that blaming low fruit set on the performance of a discrete lineage of anthophilous insects as poor pollinia vectors must be approached with caution for two reasons. |
| This foraging profile overlapped with those of all anthophilous insect families, all bee subgenera, and all species of nectarivorous birds that were encountered. |
