I happened to check pollination aspects in Nervilia. Few species are
supposed to be self pollinated while some are pollinated by wasps and
small bees. Some species offer nectar for pollinators where as those
which lack nectar attract pollinators by false methods like deception.

Reference: Dressler, R. L. 1993. Phylogeny and classification of the
Orchid family. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.

I dont have access to another important book on pollination aspect: An
atlas of orchid pollination: America, Africa, Asia and Australia By
Nelis A. Cingel. If anyone has this reference then please check page
132 and let me know....
