Myrmeleontiformia is an insect clade in the order Neuroptera, and which was historically treated as a suborder. [1] The phylogeny of the Neuroptera has been explored using mitochondrial DNA sequences, and while issues remain for the order as a whole, such as " Hemerobiiformia" being paraphyletic, Myrmeleontiformia is generally agreed to be monophyletic, with one study giving the following cladogram: [2]
