About these keys:

Version 2.0 of "The Key to the Adult Limoniinae (Tipuloidea; Limoniidae) crane flies of the Oriental Region" is constructed to aid in identification of the 51 genera/subgenera of the subfamily Limoniinae (Tipuloidea; Limoniidae) currently known from the Oriental Region. The definition of Limoniinae used here is that of the Catalogue of the Craneflies of the World (Diptera, Tipuloidea: Pediciidae, Limoniidae, Cylindrotomidae, Tipulidae) (Oosterbroek 2006) but with some modifications. This key elevates many formerly subgeneric groups and raises them to a genus rank. Taxon pages for all included groups will aid in classification problems.
