Gonomyia
Gonomyia is a genus of crane flies in the family Limoniidae, established by Meigen in 1818. The genus contains numerous species organized into multiple subgenera, including Gonomyia, Gonomyina, Idiocerodes, Leiponeura, Megalipophleps, Neolipophleps, Paralipophleps, Prolipophleps, and Teuchogonomyia. Fossil evidence from Cretaceous amber deposits in Spain and Myanmar indicates the genus originated by at least the Upper Albian, approximately 100 million years ago. Species diversity spans multiple continents with modern records from Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
