Classification
We treat Tipulidae and Limoniidae as separate families, with Eugnophomyia in the latter. Does it belong in Limoniidae?

'Limoniidae'
According to Bugguide - I just disagree with the classification used.

Top view?
Do you have a top view of any of them, showing the veins in the wings more clearly? Fungus gnats and crane flies have long legs and those kinds of antennae.
