Valeseguyidae is a family of flies, belonging to Scatopsoidea. It contains only one known extant species, Valeseguya rieki, known from a single male specimen found in Victoria, Australia, described in 1990. It was initially classified as a member of the wood gnat family Mycetobiidae, but was later given its own family in 2006. Two fossil species are known, including another species of Valeseguya, V. disjuncta, which is known from Miocene aged Dominican amber from the Caribbean, and Cretoseguya, containing the single species C. burmitica, which is known from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber of Myanmar, dating to around 100 million years ago.[1]

Les Valeseguyidae sont une famille de diptères.
Selon BioLib (2 février 2021)[1] :
Valeseguyidae zijn een familie uit de orde van de tweevleugeligen (Diptera), onderorde muggen (Nematocera). Wereldwijd omvat deze familie 3 genera en 3 soorten.
Valeseguyidae er en liten og nylig beskrevet familiegruppe av små mygg.
Den har til nå bare tre arter, kjent fra Australia og fra ravfossiler fra Burma i Asia og Den dominikanske republikk i Mellom-Amerika.
De to slekten i Valeseguyidae var tidligere klassifisert som en delgruppe (underfamilie) i familiegruppen vindusmygg (Anisopodoidae). Nyere forskning på karakterer i vingeårene, kjønnsorgan, på hodet, leggene og detaljer på brystpartiet, viser at de er søstergruppe med gjødselmygg i overfamilien Scatopsoidea.

Valeseguyidae (лат.) — семейство двукрылых насекомых, к которому относится всего один современный вид и два вымерших (меловой и из миоцена).
Вид Cretoseguya burmitica известен лишь по одному найденному экземпляру самки в бирманском янтаре, и который датируется верхним мелом[1].
Род Valeseguya Коллесс (Colless) выделял как подсемейство семейства разноножек (Mycetobiidae или же Anisopodidae)[2]. Семейство Valeseguyidae в данный момент включает следующие виды:
