<span class="mw-page-title-main">Crane fly</span> Family of flies

A crane fly is any member of the dipteran superfamily Tipuloidea, which contains the living families Cylindrotomidae, Limoniidae, Pediciidae and Tipulidae, as well as several extinct families. "Winter crane flies", members of the family Trichoceridae, are sufficiently different from the typical crane flies of Tipuloidea to be excluded from the superfamily Tipuloidea.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Limoniinae</span> Crane flies

Limoniidae is the largest of four crane fly families, with more than 10,700 species in more than 150 genera. It is a paraphyletic assemblage of genera within the superfamily Tipuloidea. Although paraphyletic, Limoniid crane flies can usually be distinguished by the way the wings are held at rest. Limoniids usually hold/fold the wings along the back of the body, whereas other crane flies usually hold them out at right angles. Snow flies such as Chionea scita have no wings at all. Limoniids are also usually smaller than other crane flies, with some exceptions.
