	God of Insects - Museum: Neuroptera (=Planipennia)
		Neuroptera is an order that still remains to be worked on by scientists.
		The ordinal name "Neuroptera" is derived from the Greek words for “nerve-wing” and references the extensive veining in the wings of most Neuropterans.
		The earliest Neuroptera fossils date back to the Permian period (225-280 million years ago) and mark Neuropterans as being the first insects to exhibit complete metamorphosis.

		The Sialidae or alder-flies (q.v.) differ from other Neuroptera in the jaws of the larvawhich is aquatic, breathing by paired, jointed abdominal gillsresembling those of the imago, and being adapted for the mastication of solid food.
		They may be distinguished from the Neuroptera by the elongation of the head into a beak, the small prothorax, the narrow, elongate wings with predominantly longitudinal neuration, the presence of abdominal cerci and the eruciform larva.
		They are abundantly distinct from the Neuroptera and Mecaptera, through the absence of mandibles in the imago, the maxillaeboth pairs of which possess the typical inner and outel lobes and jointed paipsforming a suctorial apparatus.

		We were given a lecture on the Neuroptera in Internet, and we discussed research projects either in progress or at the planning stage under the direction of Professor Horst Aspöck.
		In the 1990s, different aspects of Neuroptera in Istria and Quarnero have been studied: Neuroptera in different plant communities and habitats, populations of Libelloides macaronius (Scopoli), and feeding habits of certain Neuroptera, such as predatory behaviour in antlion larvae and gut content in adults of Neuroptera.
		The nature of lipids of the green lacewing Chrysoperla kolthoffi (Navás) was investigated in a population originating from the centre of France, at the beginning (September) and at the end (April) of the winter reproductive diapause.

	Order Neuroptera
		The modern English translation "nerve-wings" is appropriate because it alludes to the extensive branching found in the wing veins of most Neuroptera.
		The order Neuroptera includes the lacewings and antlions (suborder Planipennia), dobsonflies and alderflies (suborder Megaloptera) and snakeflies (suborder Raphidoidea).
		Neuroptera are medium-sized insects that have many-veined wings.

		Neuroptera, along with the smaller orders, Raphidioptera and Megaloptera, are among the oldest Holometabola, many exhibiting a variety of primitive characteristics (Hennig 1981, New 1989, Kristensen 1999).
		Neuroptera are a moderately sized order of more than 6000 species represented in all major biogeographical regions, with their greatest diversity and abundance in the tropics.
		As larvae, many Neuroptera are characteristically voracious generalist predators of other insects, especially the green lacewings (Chrysopidae), brown lacewings (Hemerobiidae) and antlions (Myrmeleontidae), but several lineages have become highly specialized, such as the spider egg-sac predatory Mantispidae, the freshwater sponge-feeding Sisyridae, and the root exudate feeding Ithonidae.

	Insect Orders
		Neuroptera are rather fragile insects with two pairs of many-veined wings of about the same size.
		Most Neuroptera hold their wings roof-like over the abdomen but some like dobsonflies overlap their wings.
		Male dobsonflies have long sickle shaped jaws that are used to hold the female during mating.

		Taxonomically the Neuroptera are a diverse group and many authors split them into a number of separate orders Normally these include the Megaloptera and the 'Planipennia' as the Neuroptera though others will split the Raphidiidae (Snakeflies) of from the Megaloptera as a separate order as well.

	Megaloptera spit out from Neuroptera? - BugGuide.Net
		Talk to an aquatic entomologist, and they all say Megaloptera (the aquatic neuroptera) are elevated to order.
		(Neuroptera is a rather small order already.) So I see no reason to move Megaloptera out of neuroptera.
		As I said, I like the suborder idea, because there are already so many orders, and the Neuroptera are a well-known, traditional groupage of related families.

		Originally the name Neuroptera belonged to a wittingly artificial taxon (which now can be regarded as paraphyletic and ancestral to all other Pterygota).
		Subsequently, this taxon was broken down to a number of smaller natural orders, one of which was sometimes given the name Neuroptera.
		This means many authors used the name Neuroptera as rank-based (while using non-typified names as rank-based is unpractical).

		We are interested in understanding the role of mating signals in reproductive isolation among cryptic species of insects.
		Even though, it is not clear whether the changes in courtship song features precede, induce, or develop after speciation, courtship songs become a very important factor in the process of speciation, because they result in the formation of swarms of sibling species distinguished only by differences in their songs.
		Green lacewings of the order Neuroptera, are a good case study to look at the role of courtship songs in reproductive isolation and at evolutionary changes in song features among closely related species.
