Phylogeny of the infraorder Tipulomorpha is discussed with emphasis on the family Limoniidae. A negative reaction to the study by Petersen et al. (2010) is presented because they proposed an unusual phylogeny, with hardly acceptable classification. The family Limoniidae is here confirmed as monophyletic, divided into four clades classified as subfamilies (Starý 1992), with recent additional and reasonable changes. A revised phylogenetic arrangement of the family Limoniidae within Tipulomorpha is given.
