Tipula simplex, commonly known as the range crane fly, is a species of crane fly in the family Tipulidae, found in the western United States. [1] It is arguably the most well-known/well-researched crane fly in Tipulidae.
Nephrotoma, tiger crane fly. A crane fly can usually be identified as a member of Tipulidae by its maxillary palps, which is the pair appendages that hang down from the front of its head. If the fourth segment (the farthest from the body) of the maxillary palp is longer than the other three combined, then it is likely to be a member of Tipulidae.
Tipula is a very large insect genus in the fly family Tipulidae (crane flies). The members of this genus are sometimes collectively called common crane flies.

Chionea is a genus of wingless limoniid crane flies.It consists of two subgenera, the holarctic Chionea and palaearctic Sphaeconophilus.About 37 species are currently recognized in the northern hemisphere, [1] but there are probably several undescribed species.
Tanyderidae, sometimes called primitive crane flies, are long, thin, ... Larvae are found either in sandy stream margins or in wet, rotten wood.
The Ptychopteridae, phantom crane flies, are a small family (three extant genera) of nematocerous Diptera.Superficially similar in appearance to other "tipuloid" families, they lack the ocelli of the Trichoceridae, the five-branched radial vein of the Tanyderidae, and the two anal veins that reach the wing margins of the Tipulidae.
