===Extinct superfamilies===

One recent classification based largely on [[fossil]]s splits this group into a series of extinct superfamilies (below), and includes members of other infraorders, but this has not gained wide acceptance.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}}

*Superfamily [[Eopolyneuroidea]]
**Family [[Eopolyneuridae]] - (Upper Triassic)
**Family [[Musidoromimidae]] - (Upper Triassic)
*Superfamily [[Tipulodictyoidea]] extinct
**Family [[Tipulodictyidae]] - (Upper Triassic)
*Superfamily [[Tanyderophryneoidea]] extinct
