The family Tipulodictyidae is based on a single specimen (positive impression
only) of an incomplete wing from the Jurassic of Issyk-Kul', Kirghizistan.
It resembles a tipuloid in general venational characters and restudy of
the type specimen to verify the illustration of Rohdendorf (1962) may resolve
its correct placement within the Diptera. Rohdendorf (1964) placed the family
in the superfamily Tipulodictyidea.
