Rohdendorf (1961) described a fossil fly he considered so different from
all other Diptera that it warranted its own infraorder (Diplopolyneuromorpha).
The illustration depicts numerous paired veins, which resemble the venational
pattern of some Ephemeroptera. Rohdendorf (1964) considered the Diplopolyneuridae
to be a primitive ancestor of the Tipulidae. Krzeminski (1992b)
considered the type species a member of the Limoniidae. The genus is retained
here as a separate family pending further study of its actual familial placement.
