ResumoThe wing stalk in Diptera is examined, and its structures are re-evaluated and re-interpreted.The non-homology of A2 in Tipulomorpha and "A2" in other Diptera is claimed.Some notes are presented on the higher-level phylogeny of Diptera, especially those concerning Tipulomorpha.The family Trichoceridae is restored among Tipulomorpha, and the Tipulomorpha are re-affirmed as the sister group of the remaining Diptera.The clade Anisopodidae + Culicomorpha + Bibionomorpha is suggested as the sister group of Brachycera.
