Zhangsolvidae is an extinct family of Fly known from the Cretaceous period. Members of the family possess a long proboscis, varying in length between 1.3 and 7 mm depending on the species, and were probably . A specimen has been found with preserved Bennettitales pollen, suggesting that they acted as for extinct gymnosperms. They are considered to be members of the Stratiomyomorpha.
