The long-legged fly belongs to the subfamily Neurigoninae of Dolichopodidae. The mitogenome (GenBank accession number: MT921956) of was sequenced, the first representative complete mitogenome from this subfamily. The complete mitogenome is 17,141 bp, includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs. All genes have the same location and coding strand as in other published species of Dolichopodidae. Nucleotide composition is biased toward A and T, which together made up 77.3% of the entire genome. Bayesian inference strongly supported the monophyly of Empidoidea, Empididae and Dolichopodidae, with the phylogenetic relationships within Empidoidea: (Dolichopodinae + Neurigoninae) + ((Empidinae + (Trichopezinae + Oreogetoninae)) + Ocydromiinae).
长足虻属于长足虻科的Neurigoninae亚科。对其线粒体基因组（GenBank登录号：MT921956）进行了测序，这是该亚科的首个代表性完整线粒体基因组。完整的线粒体基因组为17,141 bp，包括13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA和22个转运RNA。所有基因的位置和编码链与其他已发表的长足虻科物种相同。核苷酸组成偏向于A和T，它们共同占整个基因组的77.3%。贝叶斯推断强烈支持舞虻总科、舞虻科和长足虻科的单系性，以及舞虻总科内的系统发育关系：(长足虻亚科 + Neurigoninae亚科) + ((舞虻亚科 + (毛栉虻亚科 + 山地虻亚科)) + 沼虻亚科)。
