Liogma is a genus of crane fly in the family Cylindrotomidae.
The larvae of the genus Liogma live on mosses. Adults are to be found in damp wooded habitats.
Canada, United States, China, Russian Far East, Japan, Taiwan.
The Limoniinae are a paraphyletic assemblage of genera within the crane flies, Tipulidae, although they can usually be distinguished by the way the wings are held at rest. Limoniines usually hold/fold the wings along the back of the body, whereas other tipulids usually hold them out at right angles. Snow flies such as Chionea scita have no wings at all. Limoniines are also usually smaller than other tipulids, with some exceptions. Limoniinae are a very large assemblage with nearly 10500 described species in 133 genera, and were historically treated as a subfamily, but their classification is in flux; numerous authors recently treated the group at the rank of family, but subsequent phylogenetic analyses revealed that the remaining groups of tipulids render the group paraphyletic. These flies are found in damp places throughout the world, and many species form dense swarms in suitable habitats.
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:
Discobola is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae.
Hoplolabis is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae.
Ilisia is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae.
Neolimnophila is a genus of crane flies in the family Limoniidae.
Scleroprocta is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae.
Tipuloidea is a superfamily of flies containing the living families Cylindrotomidae, Limoniidae, Pediciidae and Tipulidae, and the extinct families Architipulidae and Eolimnobiidae.
The Limnophilinae are a subfamily of tipulid crane flies. Some authors still use the name Hexatominae for this subfamily.
Nasiternella is a genus of hairy-eyed craneflies with a Holarctic distribution.
The Cylindrotomidae or long-bodied craneflies are a family of crane flies. About 115 species in 9 genera occur worldwide.
Cylindrotoma is a genus of crane fly in the family Cylindrotomidae.
Stibadocera is a genus of crane fly in the family Cylindrotomidae. Stibadocera are unusual for crane flies in that the males have very long antenna, sometimes as long as the body. Most species are very small (6–10 mm).

Tipulinae is a subfamily of crane flies. It contains the typical crane flies from the genus Tipula.
Diogma glabrata is a species of fly in the family Cylindrotomidae. It is found in the Palearctic.
