Dactylolabis montana
Dactylolabis montana is a species of limoniid crane fly inhabiting madicolous environments in eastern North America. The species develops in thin water films on rock surfaces, with distinct larval and pupal stages described. It occurs from Ontario and Newfoundland south to Kansas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and South Carolina.
Decodes nr-horariana
Decodes nr-horariana is a crane fly species in the family Limoniidae. The 'nr-' prefix indicates this is a near-reference specimen that closely resembles D. horariana but has not been formally confirmed as that species through detailed taxonomic examination. Limoniid crane flies are generally small to medium-sized flies with reduced wing venation compared to their larger relatives in Tipulidae.
Limonia duplicata
Limonia duplicata is a species of limoniid crane fly originally described by Doane in 1900. The species is currently treated as a synonym of Rhipidia maculata. It has been recorded across a broad geographic range spanning the Nearctic, West Palearctic, and East Palearctic regions, including North America from Alaska to California and Tennessee, much of Europe, and eastward through Russia, Central Asia, East Asia, and China.
Molophilus
Molophilus is a large genus of crane flies in the family Limoniidae, first described by John Curtis in 1833. The genus contains numerous species distributed across multiple continents, with recognized subgeneric divisions including Austromolophilus, Eumolophilus, Molophilus, and others. Species-level biology has been documented for some members, including studies of larval ecology and adult biology in M. ater.
Tanyptera dorsalis
Antlered Crane Fly
Tanyptera dorsalis is a species of crane fly in the family Tipulidae, commonly known as the Antlered Crane Fly. Males are distinguished by prominent antler-like projections on the head. The species occurs in eastern North America, with records from Canada and the United States.

Trioxina is a genus of crane flies in the family Limoniidae, subfamily Chioneinae. These insects are characterized by their elongated bodies and long, slender legs typical of the group. The genus is distinguished by specific wing venation patterns and genitalic structures. Species within Trioxina are generally small to medium-sized limoniid crane flies.
