Pleciodictyids are an extinct family of flies that have wing venation reminiscent
of sciarids or bibionids. Rohdendorf (1964) placed the family in his Superfamily
Pleciodictyidea of the Bibionomorpha. The illustration of the wing provided
by Rohdendorf (1962: fig. 1008) is too fragmented for any conclusions to
be made concerning its actual familial placement among the Diptera. The
family is based solely on the single impression of a poorly preserved wing
of the species Pleciodictya modesta from the Lower Jurassic deposits
of Issyk-Kul', Kirghizistan.
