Keys to the British species of family Limoniidae
This family as well as the others in Tipuloidea have been covered by a series of test keys by Stubbs and Kramer. These are published on the Catalogue of the Craneflies of the World site (http://ccw.naturalis.nl/). Click on the Literature tab and type Kramer in the author box and 2016 in the year box. You will then find a list of keys starting with Stubbs, A.E.; Kramer J. 2016a.
