Platysmittia is a genus of midges in the non-biting midge family (Chironomidae).
Only two species are known. P. fimbriata is recorded from Tennessee and North Carolina. P. bilyji is known from Pennsylvania and Maryland,[1]
Larvae of the two species can be told apart by the longer 4th antennal segment in P. bilyji.[1]
