Crane flies - three families or one?

• George W. BYERS

Abstract:

Arguments defending the “one family system” (i.e., Tipulidae comprising 3 subfamilies: Tipulinae, Limoniinae and Cylindrotominae) against the “three families system” (Tipulidae, Limoniidae, Cylindrotomidae) are given, mainly derived from the history of studies of Tipulomorpha.
