Pupae of only a few Hemerodromiinae have been described. A unique feature of the pupae of this group are filaments that extend from the tracheal system.
![]() | A dorsal view of the pupal skin of a Hemerodromia empiformes female. The tracheal filaments are relatively stout compared to the pupae of Neoplasta. |
![]() | A lateral view of the pupal skin of Neoplasta parahebes. In this specimen, the posterior tracheal filaments are confined by the larval exuvia that was not completely shed. |
![]() | A dorsal view of a pupa of Neoplasta scapularis. Eyes of adult fly are seen developing as the dark area on the left. |
