Well, quite a lot to go through. I went through it quickly and have the following remarks:

Tipulidae: Ptychoptera japonica 1000006194 should be in family Ptychopteridae.

Chironomidae: Unidentified Chironomidae 1000014753 as a gall midge (Ceidomyiidae).

Sciaridae: Unidentified Sciaridae 1000011723, 1000011724 and 1000011878 are Mycetophilidae.

Unknown family (Nematocera) (nothing mentioned means I simply agree or cannot see enough toe really say it is something else):
Presumed Chironomidae 1000014600: family Sciaridae.
Presumed Limoniidae 1000013579, 1000013669, 1000013689: I suspect Trichoceridae (winter midges).
Presumed Scatopsidae 1000011301, 1000014865: family Sciaridae.
Presumed Sciaridae 1000013844, 1000014111, 1000014117, 1000014120, 1000014755: family Cecidomyiidae.
Presumed Trichoceridae 1000012187: family Limoniidae.
