Lygistorrhininae, commonly called long-beaked fungus gnats is a subfamily of flies in the Diptera family Keroplatidae. The groups was long treated as a separate family,[1] but molecular phylogenetic analysis has shown it to belong to Keroplatidae.[2] There are about 7 genera and at least 30 described species in Lygistorrhininae.[3]
