舞虻
演化及分類

在琥珀礦床中發掘出很多舞虻，並且肯定牠們早至白堊紀就已經存在。
有兩類原先是分類在舞虻科下的亞科，但現已分類在舞虻總科（英语：）下為另外兩個科，包括Atelestidae（英语：）及駝舞虻科（英语：）。Brachystomatidae（英语：）有時亦會被看為獨立的科，但似乎是錯誤的分類。Microphorinae（英语：）以往一直分類在舞虻科中，曾一度重新分類為獨立的科，現已改為長足虻科下的亞科。
現時分類在舞虻科下的亞科，並非所有已確定為單系群。有學者認為舞虻科與長足虻科是舞虻總科下最大及最先進的分支。Brachystomatinae（英语：）、舞虻亞科（英语：）及螳舞虻亞科（英语：）似乎是最近親，而Clinocerinae（英语：）似乎是最大的亞科。
