Family EODITOMYIIDAE
The family Eoditomyiidae was proposed by Ansorge
(1996a) for his monobasic genus Eoditomyia,
known only from a single species from the Lower Jurassic deposits of Mecklenberg, Germany. Its familial placement is presumed to
be in the Sciaroidea as a putative ancestor of the current family Ditomyiidae (Blagoderov et
al., 2002).
