Tasiocera is a genus of crane fly belonging to the family Limoniidae. Species have been recorded in Britain.[1] Members of the subgenus Dasymolophilus are characterized by narrow wings that are covered in dense setae which cover both the edges of the wing and the internal veins.[2]

It has a poor fossil record. For a while, the only fossil species that was discovered was Tasiocera circumcincta however two more species were discovered from Eocene resins, Tasiocera gorskii and Tasiocera baltica.[2]
