“…For now, it makes most sense to continue with usage of the name Myrmeleontiformia for the families Psychopsidae, Nymphidae, Nemopteridae, Myrmeleontidae, Palparidae, Stilbopterygidae and Ascalaphidae, as it is the umbrella term for these taxa in common currency among practicing Neuropterologists (Aspöck et al, 2001;Badano, Aspöck, Aspöck, & Haring, 2017;Badano, Aspöck, Aspöck, & Cerretti, 2017;Lan et al, 2016;MacLeod, 1964;Michel et al, 2017;Song et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2017;Winterton et al, 2010).…”

“…His subsequent optimization (1978c), also based on larval characters but addressing intrafamilial relationships, grouped ascalaphids into two reciprocally monophyletic clades (Figure S1c): the "Neuropterynginae" (=Haplogleniinae sensu Tjeder, 1992) were united by scalelike setae and consisted of two lineages, one in the Old World and one in the New; and the Ascalaphinae had the ventral scolus series of the abdomen reduced and the abdominal tergum bearing litter, and also were subdivided into two lineages, one Old World and one New World. Other recent works that have addressed the phylogeny of the Neuropterida, Myrmeleontiformia and/or the AMC and have included three or more owlfly species (Badano, Aspöck, Aspöck, & Cerretti, 2017;Gao et al, 2018;Henry, 1978a;Lan et al, 2016;Machado et al, 2018;Michel et al, 2017;Song et al, 2019Song et al, , 2018Wang et al, 2017), are reviewed and figured in the Appendix S1 (Figures S6-S8).…”

The first large‐scale, total‐evidence phylogeny of the owlflies (Neuroptera, Ascalaphidae) is presented. A combined morphological and molecular dataset was analysed under several analytical regimes for 76 exemplars of Myrmeleontiformia (Psychopsidae, Nymphidae, Nemopteridae, Myrmeleontidae, Ascalaphidae), including 57 of Ascalaphidae. At the subordinal level, the families were recovered in all analyses in the form Psychopsidae + (Nymphidae + (Nemopteridae + (Myrmeleontidae + Ascalaphidae). In the DNA‐only maximum‐likelihood analysis, Ascalaphidae were recovered as paraphyletic with respect to the Myrmeleontidae and the tribe Ululodini. In both the parsimony and Bayesian total‐evidence analyses, however, the latter with strong support, traditional Ascalaphidae were recovered as monophyletic, and in the latter, Stilbopteryginae were placed as the immediate sister group. The long‐standing subfamilies Haplogleniinae and Ascalaphinae were not recovered as monophyletic in any analysis, nor were several of the included tribes of non‐ululodine Ascalaphinae. The Ululodini were monophyletic and well supported in all analyses, as were the New World Haplogleniinae and, separately, the African/Malagasy Haplogleniinae. The remaining Ascalaphidae, collectively, were also consistently cohesive, but included a genus that until now has been placed in the Haplogleniinae, Protidricerus. Protidricerus was discovered to express a well‐developed pleurostoma, a feature previously only encountered in divided‐eye owlflies. The feature traditionally used to differentiate the Haplogleniinae and Ascalaphinae, the entire or divided eye, can no longer be regarded as a spot‐diagnostic synapomorphy to separate these groups within the family. A new subfamilial classification based on these results is proposed and includes the following five subfamilies: Albardiinae, Ululodinae, Haplogleniinae, Melambrotinae and Ascalaphinae. In addition, the monophyletic containing group (Myrmeleontidae + (Palparidae + (Stilbopterygidae + Ascalaphidae))) is elevated to the rank of superfamily, as Myrmeleontoidea, in order to accommodate much‐needed taxonomic and nomenclatural restructuring anticipated to occur within the Ascalaphidae in the future. A list of genera included in each subfamily of Ascalaphidae is provided.

“…Rhachiberothids can be recognized as a sister taxon to either Berothidae (Aspöck & Mansell, 1994;Aspöck et al 2001Aspöck et al , 2012 or Mantispidae (Liu et al 2015;Engel et al 2018). In a more recent molecular phylogenetic study, the relationship of (Mantispidae þ [Rhachiberothidae þ Berothidae]) was supported (Song et al 2019). These families, and the extinct family Mesoberothidae, constitute the superfamily Mantispoidea (Engel et al 2018;Winterton et al 2018).…”

AbstractThorny lacewings (Rhachiberothidae) are currently distributed only within Africa, whereas they are prevalent in the fossil record of various Cretaceous ambers across the Northern Hemisphere, with a handful of the fossil records from some Eocene European ambers. Four rhachiberothid species in four extinct genera are known from the mid-Cretaceous amber of northern Myanmar. Here, we report further examples of the remarkable palaeodiversity of this group from the same amber deposit, adding the four new fossil genera and seven new species: Acanthoberotha cuspis gen. et sp. nov., Astioberotha falcipes gen. et sp. nov., Stygioberotha siculifera gen. et sp. nov., Uranoberotha chariessa gen. et sp. nov., Creagroparaberotha cuneata sp. nov., Micromantispa galeata sp. nov. and M. spicata sp. nov. Based on a series of well-preserved specimens, we discuss the fine details of the raptorial forelegs and genital segments, which may be important for elucidating the phylogenetic relationships among genera. Our findings reveal an unexpectedly diverse assemblage of thorny lacewings in the Cretaceous System, highlighting the morphologically diverse rhachiberothids in Burmese amber. The discovery of seven additional rhachiberothid species in Myanmar amber suggests the potential for much higher diversity and abundance of the Cretaceous rhachiberothids than previously documented. Furthermore, morphological variation in the raptorial forelegs was found to be extremely diverse among the Burmese amber paraberothines, especially in terms of the size, number and shape of spines (or spine-like setae) on the inner edges of protibia, and the morphological structure of the probasitarsus.
