Family Limoniidae

Limoniidae is among the most species-rich families of Diptera . Of 2129 species known to occur in the Palaearctic Region, 1115 species are listed from the West Palaearctic ( Oosterbroek, 2019). Savchenko (1971 – 1989; see references) and Savchenko et al. (1991) contributed considerably to the knowledge of Limoniidae fauna of the Transcaucasia and summarised the results in an annotated catalogue ( Savchenko, 1989). Recently, Oboňa et al. (2016) published the first checklist of the family for Armenia and Starý et al. (2017) published new records from Azerbaijan.
