This list is adapted from the Catalogue of the Craneflies of the World (January 2007). However, tribe affiliation is taken from Fauna Europaea; thus genera that include no European species are given below. then refined from Savchenko, Oosterbroek & Stary[1]

Dicranoptycha Osten Sacken, 1860 and Lipsothrix Loew, 1873 were moved to subfamily Limoniinae.
