Tipuloidea is a superfamily of flies containing the living families Cylindrotomidae, Limoniidae, Pediciidae and Tipulidae, and the extinct families Architipulidae and Eolimnobiidae.[1][2]

At least 15,300 species of crane flies have been described, most of them (75%) by the specialist Charles Paul Alexander.
