The Dixidae are a family of aquatic nematoceran flies (Diptera). The larvae live in unpolluted, standing fresh waters, just beneath the surface film, usually amongst marginal aquatic vegetation. They are found in all continents except Antarctica.
These 73 species belong to the genus Dixella:
Dixella martinii is a species of fly in the family Dixidae. It is found in the Palearctic.
Dixella nova is a species of meniscus midges in the family Dixidae.
The Blephariceridae, commonly known as net-winged midges, are a nematoceran family in the order Diptera. The adults resemble crane flies except with a projecting anal angle in the wings, and different head shape, absence of the V on the mesonotum, and more laterally outstretched, forward-facing legs. They are uncommon, but dozens of genera occur worldwide, and over 200 species.
The Chioneinae are a subfamily of limoniid crane flies.
Corethrella is a genus of midges that are classified in the family Corethrellidae.
Chironomini is a tribe of midges in the non-biting midge family (Chironomidae).
Tanytarsini is a tribe of midges in the non-biting midge family (Chironomidae).
Pentaneurini is a tribe of midges in the non-biting midge family (Chironomidae).
Dicranomyia is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae.
Oxycera is a genus of soldier flies in the family Stratiomyidae. There are at least 80 described species in Oxycera.
Cordilura is a genus of dung flies in the family Scathophagidae. There are more than 90 described species in Cordilura.
Nilobezzia is a genus of biting midges in the family Ceratopogonidae. There are more than 70 described species in Nilobezzia.
Bradysia is a genus of fungus gnat in the family Sciaridae. They are commonly known as darkwinged fungus gnats. They are considered a major pest in greenhouse agriculture because they thrive in the moist conditions common inside greenhouses and feed on the plants being grown within. Bradysia is a large genus containing over 500 living species, with at least 65 species found in North America and 172 in Europe.
