The infraorder is supported by a few synapomorphies showing a high level of homoplasy, such as the articulation of the larval mandibles and abbreviation of the costal vein in the adult wing, (139, 190), and has been criticized on these grounds (60).
Blaschke-Berthold (8) analyzed relationships of Bibionomorpha and found seven synapomorphies for the group (excluding Axymyidae) and relationships among the families that differed considerably from those found by subsequent workers (139, 190).
A clade (Neodiptera) containing Brachycera, Bibionomorpha, and Psychodomorpha (except Psychodidae) is supported by four synapomorphies of the arrangement of the muscles and sclerites of the cervical region.

 ORDER DIPTERA. THE TRUE FLIES
Up to date no one extinct culicomorph family is known, but 15 extinct families of Bibionomorpha are described for Mesozoic and one can see a number of steps in the development of various lineages.
Suggested prevalent biology of Jurassic Bibionomorpha was the saprophagy.
Kovalev (1984) distinguished two stages of the Diptera fauna formation during the Jurassic: the Early Liassic (as reflected by the assemblage of Sogyuty in Central Asia) and the rest of the period.

 FLYTREE Phylogeny, the story so far - p. 2
The position of the tipulids and their relatives has been very unstable; some morphological treatments consider them the basal lineage of Diptera (Hennig, 1973), while others consider them to be closely related to Brachycera (Oosterbroek and Courtney, 1995).
The supertree analysis currently favors Ptychopteromorpha+Culicomorpha as the sister group to the remaining Diptera with Blepharicerimorpha and Bibionomorpha being the next lineages to emerge from the Lower Dipteran stem.
Close to the grade transition to Brachycera, the Lower Dipteran infraorders are not monophyletic, with Psychodomorpha and Tipulomorpha forming a paraphyletic grouping, the superfamily Tipuloidea being sister to the Brachycera.

The species apparently survives through dry weather by means of the prepupa and puparium which show structural adaptations to resist desiccation.
Comparison with other Nematocera suggests that Perissomma belongs in the section Bibionomorpha and its immature stages show some resemblance to those of the Scatopsidae.
However, no grounds can be found for including it in any known family, and it appears to be a specialized relict of a primitive bibionomorph stock.

Pleciodictyids are an extinct family of flies that have wing venation reminiscent of sciarids or bibionids.
Rohdendorf (1964) placed the family in his Superfamily Pleciodictyidea of the Bibionomorpha.
