Note: the nominal Limonia lutea Meigen, 1804 and Limnobia quadra Meigen, 1838 have previously been regarded as possible synonyms of the present species. However, Stary and Stubbs (2015) have shown that they represent separate valid species.

The lutea Lackschewitz, 1928 has been regarded as a synonym of Dicranomyia mitis, because it was originally described as a "form" of D. mitis. However, Stary and Stubbs (2015) argue that it is in fact a synonym of the present species and I follow this notion here.
