Family ASIOCHAOBORIDAE


Hong & Wang (1990) erected the family Asiochaoboridae for their new genera Asiochaoborous, Chaoboropsis, Sinochaoborus, and Sunochaoborus from the Jurassic Laiyang deposits of China. It is premature at this time to make any judgment concerning their placement within the nematocerous Diptera families. They are provisionally placed in this catalog as a separate family following Hong & Wang (1990) pending further study and comparison with Chaoboridae, Corethrellidae, and other related culicoid Diptera.
