Crane Fly
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, and are placed as their sister group within Tipulomorpha. Two other families of flies, the phantom crane flies ( Ptychopteridae) and primitive crane flies ( Tanyderidae), have similar common names due their similar appearance, but they are not closely related to true crane flies. The classification of crane flies has been varied in the past, with some or all of these families treated as subfamilies, but the following classification is currently accepted. Species counts are approximate, and vary over time. ; Infraorder Tipulomorpha : Superfamily Tipuloidea (Typical Crane Flies) :: Family Cylindrotomidae (Cy ...

Kosciuszko National Park

Tipulidae
Tipulidae is a family of large Crane fly, crane flies in the order Diptera. There are more than 30 genera and 4,200 described species in Tipulidae, common and widespread throughout the world. A crane fly can be identified as a member of Tipulidae by its maxillary palps, which is the pair of appendages that hang down from the front of its head. If the fourth segment (the furthest from the body) of the maxillary palp is longer than the other three combined, then it is likely to be a member of Tipulidae. There are also usually 13 segments in the antennae of large crane flies, compared to 14 or 16 in the common Limoniidae, limoniid crane flies. The oldest fossils that can be assigned confidently to Tipulidae ''sensu stricto'' are those of the genus ''Tipunia,'' which date to the Late Jurassic. Genera These 39 genera belong to the family Tipulidae: * ''Acracantha'' Skuse, 1890 * ''Angarotipula'' Savchenko, 1961 * ''Austrotipula'' Alexander, 1920 * ''Brachypremna'' Osten Sacken, 1 ...
