Nemestrinidæ (nem-es-trin'i-dē), n . pl. [NL., Nemestrinus + -idæ .] A family of dipterous insects founded by Macquart in 1834 upon the genus Nemestrinus . They are distinguished by the very numerous cro -veins of the wings, which thus appear almost reticulate. They are medium-sized flies, slightly hairy, of dark-brown or black color with lighter bands or spots, and most of them have a very long proboscis. It is a small family of about 100 known species, of which scarcely a dozen inhabit Europe and North America.
