Austroleptis is a genus of snipe fly, and the sole genus in the family Austroleptidae; until 2010, it was placed in the family Rhagionidae.[2] They are small to moderately sized flies of around 3 to 7.7 mm.

The family Austroleptidae was originally created by Nagatomi (1982) as "Austroleptinae", a subfamily of Rhagionidae.[1] It was later proposed that it be raised to family rank by Stuckenburg (2001).[3]
