大蚊科(Tipulidae)是双翅目长角亚目中物种多样性较高的类群之一, 迄今全球大蚊科现生及化石物种约四千余种, 除南极洲外, 各大洲均有分布; 其中化石9属139种, 自晚侏罗世至中新世均有记录。本文重绘了大蚊科昆虫化石代表属及亚属的翅脉特征, 详细回顾了大蚊科昆虫化石的研究简史, 不同地质历史时期大蚊科化石昆虫属种的出现及分布, 并提出大蚊科的研究问题及展望。

Tipulidae is one of the groups with high diversity in Diptera, Nematocera. To date, more than 4,000 species of extant and fossil species have been recorded, distributed on all continents except Antarctica. Among them, nine genera and 139 fossil species have been reported, with their geological age ranging from the Late Jurassic to the Miocene. In this paper, the venation patterns of representative genera and subgenera of fossil Tipulidae are redrawn, the research history and the distribution of fossil Tipulidae in different geological periods are summarized, and research challenges and future prospects are discussed.
