ABSTRACT. The article presents data on Tipuloidea collected on Wrangel Island from 1966 to 2022 and including 14 species of Tipulidae (about 6,650 specimens) and 5 species of Limoniidae (56 specimens). A re-examination of previously published material led to the exclusion of two species from the list: specimens previously assigned to Tipula (Yamatotipula) anceps Savchenko, 1965 belong to Tipula (Savtshenkia) convexifrons Holmgren, 1883, and specimens attributed to Tipula (Arctotipula) salicetorum Siebke, 1870 presumably belong to a new species. For Tipula (Lunatipula) subrecticornis Savchenko, 1964, a brief description of a previously unknown female with photos of terminalia is given. One species, Ormosia (Ormosia) fascipennis (Zetterstedt, 1838), was recorded on the island for the first time. The collected material did not contain six species indicated for Wrangel Island in a number of other publications. It is presumed that Tipula (Pterelachisus) cineracea Coquillett, 1900, Tipula (Pterelachisus) katmaiensis Alexander, 1920, Tipula (Pterelachisus) malaisei Alexander, 1927, and Molophilus (Molophilus) pleuralis de Meijere, 1920 were incorrectly reported for the island. Together with two other species, Tipula (Pterelachisus) crawfordi Alexander, 1927 and Limnophila sp., the Wrangel Island fauna currently comprises 15 species of Tipulidae and 6 species of Limoniidae.
