Review of the Neropterid group orders by Engel, Winterton, and Breitkreuz (2018) included grouping of the Neuropteran families in a nested set of clades, an abandonment of the paraphyletic suborder "[[Hemerobiiformia]]" and redefinition of Myrmeleontiformia as a clade.<ref name="Wings">{{cite journal |last1=Engel |first1=M.

The fossil genus †''[[Mesohemerobius]]'' {{small|Ping, 1928}} from the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous of China has been treated as ''[[incertae sedis]]'' within Neuroptera, while the fossil families †[[Permoberothidae]] and †[[Permithonidae]] are treated as a sister group to clade Eidoneuroptera formed by Neuroptera + Megaloptera.<ref name="Wings"/>
