Angarotipula

A. tristis has been observed in intermittent wetlands. A. laetipennis has been reared from rice fields and lotus ponds. Rearing experiments indicate larvae develop in aquatic environments with vegetation and require slopes of sand and gravel for pupariation.

China, India, Canada, United States, Russia, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Mongolia. Seven species occur in China, four in India, two in North America, and two in Russia and Mongolia.

Complete metamorphosis with egg, four larval instars, pupa, and adult. Eggs are black, cylindrical, 0.7–0.75 mm long, with a terminal filament more than six times the egg length. Larval development occurs at 22–32°C with 40–60% humidity. Mature larvae require slopes of sand and gravel for pupariation.

Adults mate in containers under laboratory conditions. Mature larvae actively seek slopes for pupariation.
