Leptotarsus

Leptotarsus er en artsrik slekt av stankelbein, er storvoksne mygg som hører til familien storstankelbein (Tipulidae).

Utseende 
Store, langbeinte, vanligvis lyst fargede (gulaktige, rødlige, grønnlige eller lysbrune) stankelbein. Antennene er trådformede. Mange har fargetegninger på vingene.

Levevis 
Larvene lever i jorden eller mellom råtnende plantemateriale.

En gammel slekt 
Fossiler av denne slekten er kjent tilbake til nedre kritt , slekten er dermed en av de eldste kjente i Tipulidae.

Utbredelse 
De fleste av artene lever i tropiske områder på den sørlige halvkulen (rundt halvparten i Australia og en tredjedel i Sør-Amerika), men slekten forekommer så langt nord som Nord-Amerika. Den finnes ikke i Europa. Slekten erstatter på mange måter slekten Tipula på den sørlige halvkulen.
