Discobola is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae.

Description

Discobola specimens are recognized by their extensively maculate (blotched) or ocellate (spotted) wing markings, by the presence of a A1 cross vein on the wings, and by spined or pectinate (comb like) claws. Specimens from New Zealand are distinctive from those of other locations in having slightly different male genitalia.[1]
