Tipulidae s. lat. can be very small. Quoting the guide to Tipulidae in Manual of Nearctic Diptera:

Length up to 60 mm; size varying from tiny species of Tasiocera Skuse with wing length of about 2 mm, to large species of Holorusia Loew with wing often 40 mm long and of Leptotarsus Guérin-Méneville (Longurio Loew) with body length often 60 mm.
