The Chironomidae comprise a family of nematoceran flies with a global distribution. They are closely related to the Ceratopogonidae, Simuliidae, and Thaumaleidae. Many species superficially resemble mosquitoes, but they lack the wing scales and elongated mouthparts of the Culicidae. An example of mosquito-resembling species is Tokunagayusurika akamusi.

Pontomyia is a genus of flightless marine midges belonging to the subfamily Chironominae in the Chironomidae family.

They are known from the shores of islands in the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
