The genus was established by Charles Paul Alexander in 1947 and contains approximately 30 described species distributed primarily in the Americas. Members are characterized by their relatively small to medium size and typical limoniid morphology. The genus shows greatest diversity in the Neotropical region, with several species extending into the Nearctic.

  • Hexatoma brevioricornis

    Hexatoma brevioricornis is a species of limoniid crane fly described by Charles Paul Alexander in 1941.
