Three new species of the genus Pedicia, subgenus Crunobia (Diptera: Pediciidae) belonging to the staryi group are described on the basis of a combination of molecular and morphology datasets, and a key to discriminate between species of the subgenus Crunobia is added. Geographic projection of the identified taxa suggests insular-like distribution and shows the importance of the Carpathians as a genetic center which is home to an exceptionally high aquatic diversity in Europe.

The cranefly (Tipuloidea) fauna of the Western Balkans is still poorly known. In this study, occurrence data of 77 species is reported, of which two species are newly recorded for Albania, eight species for Bosnia and Herzegovina, twelve for Croatia, and seven for Slovenia, respectively. A new species, Kolcsár & d'Oliveira, is described from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Slovenia.

Wing interference patterns (WIP) are stable structural colors in insect wings caused by thin-film interference. This study seeks to establish WIP as a stable, sexually dimorphic, species-level character across the four families of Tipuloidea and investigate generic level WIP. Thirteen species of Tipuloidea were selected from museum specimens in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University collection.

Background: The InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) Diptera 02 dataset contains records of 412 crane fly specimens belonging to the Diptera families: Limoniidae, Pediciidae and Tipulidae. This dataset is the second release by IBI on Diptera and it greatly increases the knowledge on the DNA barcodes and distribution of crane flies from Portugal. All specimens were collected in Portugal, including six specimens from the Azores and Madeira archipelagos.

The crane fly () Mao and Yang, belongs to subfamily Limnophilinae of family Limoniidae. This mitogenome of () was sequenced used next-generation sequencing (NGS), the new representative of the mitogenome of the subfamily. The nearly complete mitogenome is 14,858 bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and 22 transfer RNAs.

The family Trichoceridae is a small group in Nematocera (Diptera) with 157 known species in the world. In this study, we report a complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a Trichoceridae species, which is a circular molecule of 16,094 bp with 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and a 1063 bp long non-coding region (control region). Eight gene overlaps ranging from 1 to 8 bp in length and 16 small non-coding intergenic spacers ranging from 1 to 77 bp in length are found in the mitochondrial genome.
