This is probably the main justification for distinguishing between say, the forewings of cockroaches, which are called tegmina, and the forewings of some Neuroptera, which though stiffer than the rear wings, are flapped in flight.
32.
Sometimes they are placed in a suborder "'Nevrorthiformia "', but the quite basal position of the family is probably better expressed by placing them directly in the Neuroptera, without assigning the subordinal rank.
33.
During this time, many of the species from the Carboniferous diversified, and many new orders developed, including : Protelytroptera, primitive relatives of Plecoptera ( Paraplecoptera ), Psocoptera, Mecoptera, Coleoptera, Raphidioptera, and Neuroptera.
34.
The Endopterygota are sometimes divided into three assemblages : Neuropteroida ( Neuroptera, Megaloptera, Raphidioptera, and Coleoptera ), Hymenopteroida ( Hymenoptera ), and Panorpoida ( Siphonaptera, Diptera, Trichoptera, Lepidoptera, Strepsiptera, and Mecoptera ).
35.
"' Neuroptera "', or "'net-winged insects "', includes the lacewings, snakeflies, but these are now generally considered to be separate orders ( the Megaloptera and Raphidioptera ).
36.
The 16 beautiful engravings depict 302 insects, in order : 37 Coleoptera, 22 Orthoptera, 14 Odonata, 16 Neuroptera, 72 Lepidoptera, 35 Hymenoptera, 78 Diptera, 21 Hemiptera, and 7 larvae; from central and northern Germany.
37.
The "'Neuropterida "'are a clade of holometabolous insects with over 5, 700 described species, containing the orders Neuroptera ( lacewings, antlions ), Megaloptera ( dobsonflies, alderflies ), and Raphidioptera ( snakeflies ).
38.
The phylogeny of the Neuroptera has been explored using mitochondrial DNA sequences, and while issues remain for the group as a whole ( the " Hemerobiiformia " being paraphyletic ), the Myrmeleontiformia is generally agreed to be monophyletic, giving the following cladogram:
39.
The Megaloptera were formerly considered part of a group then called Neuroptera, together with lacewings and snakeflies, but these are now generally considered to be separate orders, with Neuroptera referring to the lacewings and relatives ( which were formerly called Planipennia ).
