The Cylindrotominae are one of two subfamilies in the family Cylindrotomidae. They typically have a long body relative to their wing size. [1]
The Bombyliidae are a family of flies, commonly known as bee flies. Some are colloquially known as bomber flies. Adults generally feed on nectar and pollen, some being important pollinators. Larvae are mostly parasitoids of other insects.
The Nematocera are a suborder of elongated flies with thin, segmented antennae and mostly aquatic larvae. This group is paraphyletic and contains all flies except for species from suborder Brachycera, which includes more commonly known species such as the housefly or the common fruit fly. The equivalent clade to Nematocera is the whole Diptera, with Brachycera as a subclade. Families in Nematocera include mosquitoes, crane flies, gnats, black flies, and multiple families commonly known as midges. The Nematocera typically have fairly long, fine, finely-jointed antennae. In many species, such as most mosquitoes, the female antennae are more or less threadlike, but the males have spectacularly plumose antennae.
Chrysopilus is common, worldwide genus of predatory snipe flies. There are approximately 300 species in the genus, including fossil members that are sometimes found in amber.
The Chioneinae are a subfamily of limoniid crane flies.
Dactylolabis is a genus of crane flies in the family Limoniidae. It is placed in its own subfamily, Dactylolabinae. Dactylolabis contains the following species:
Elliptera is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae.
The Limnophilinae are a subfamily of tipulid crane flies. Some authors still use the name Hexatominae for this subfamily.
The Cylindrotomidae or long-bodied craneflies are a family of crane flies. More than 65 extant species in 9 genera occur worldwide. There are more than 20 extinct species.
Liogma is a genus of crane fly in the family Cylindrotomidae.
Phalacrocera is a genus of crane fly in the family Cylindrotominae.
Triogma is a genus of crane fly in the family Cylindrotomidae.
Nephrotoma is a genus of crane flies.
Tipulinae is a subfamily of crane flies. It contains the typical crane flies from the genus Tipula.
Beridinae is a subfamily of soldier flies in the family Stratiomyidae.
Elassogaster is a genus of scavenger flies (Diptera) belonging to the family Platystomatidae. They are native to warm regions of Africa, Madagascar, Asia and Australia.
Cyphomyia is a genus of flies in the subfamily Clitellariinae.
Tabaninae is a subfamily in the family Tabanidae commonly known as horse flies. There are more than 3000 described species in Tabaninae.
Diachlorini is a tribe of horse flies in the family Tabanidae.
