Dear Tony,
I do not think that dolis could support this idea. Most dolis have more or less well developed pulvilli and long apical hairs on 5th segment. And many can stay on water, though a few genera are considered to be water-skaters. Meanwhile, some dendrophile (Medetera) and lithophile (Scellus, Liancalus) genera have greatly developed claws. I suspect why.
Igor.
