Abstract of an article, Observations on the biology and anatomy of Curtonotidae (Diptera: Schizophora), by J. N. Pollock (Journal of Natural History, Volume 36, Number 14 / October 10, 2002, pp. 1725 - 1745):
New information concerning the biology and anatomy of Cyrtona spp. and Curtonotum quinquevittatum is given. During the hot, dry season the latter species leaves its warthog burrow refuges at night. Cyrtona spp. rest in densely shaded humid habitats during the same season, dispersing in the cooler seasons.
