The last 25 years of phylogenetic investigation into the three orders constituting the
superorder Neuropterida—Raphidioptera, Megaloptera, and Neuroptera—have brought …

When faced with the daunting and exciting task of studying biodiversity, one must
necessarily come to terms with a few challenging knowledge gaps, the so‐called …

Abstract Analysis of anchored hybrid enrichment (AHE) data under a variety of analytical
parameters for a broadly representative sample of taxa (136 species representing all extant …

Background The latest advancements in DNA sequencing technologies have facilitated the
resolution of the phylogeny of insects, yet parts of the tree of Holometabola remain …

The first phylogenomic analysis of the antlions is presented, based on 325 genes captured
using anchored hybrid enrichment. A concatenated matrix including 207 species of …

Myrmeleontiformia are an ancient group of lacewing insects characterized by predatory
larvae with unusual morphologies and behaviours. Mostly soil dwellers with a soft cuticle …

Thread-winged lacewings (Crocinae) nowadays occur in Africa, South America, Australia
and the southern part of Eurasia. They have very distinct larvae, roughly resembling antlion …

Fossils sometimes show unusual morphological features absent in living organisms, making
it difficult to reconstruct both their affinity and their function. We describe here a new …

Psychopsidae (silky lacewings) is a species-poor ingroup of Neuroptera. Silky lacewings
show a distinct relic distribution, indicating that the group was more species-rich and diverse …

In many taxa the morphology of females and immatures is poorly known because species
descriptions and identification tools have a male bias. The root causes are problems with …
