The higher‐level phylogenetic relationships among these groups, as well as the family‐level hierarchy of Neuroptera, have to date proved difficult to reconstruct. We used morphological data and multi‐locus DNA sequence data to infer Neuropterida relationships. Nucleotide sequences were obtained for fragments of two nuclear genes (CAD, 18S rDNA) and two mitochondrial genes (COI, 16S rDNA) for 69 exemplars representing all recently recognized families of Neuropterida as well as outgroup exemplars from Coleoptera. The joint posterior probability of phylogeny and divergence times was estimated using a Bayesian relaxed‐clock inference method to establish a temporal sequence of cladogenesis for the group over geological time. Megaloptera were found to be paraphyletic with respect to the rest of Neuropterida, calling into question the validity of the ordinal status for Megaloptera as presently defined. Ordinal relationships were weakly supported, and monophyly of Megaloptera was not recovered in any total‐evidence analysis; Corydalidae were frequently recovered as sister to Raphidioptera. Only in relaxed‐clock inferences were Raphidioptera and a paraphyletic Megaloptera recovered with strong support as a monophyletic group sister to Neuroptera. A monophyletic Neuroptera diverged from a common Raphidioptera + ‘Megaloptera’ ancestor during the Late Carboniferous. Contrary to some previous hypotheses, Coniopterygidae, not Nevrorthidae, were recovered as sister to the rest of Neuroptera, with Nevrorthidae recovered with Osmylidae and Sisyridae. The monophyly of the universally recognized Myrmeleontiformia was confirmed, with an origin in the mid‐Triassic, but a monophyletic Hemerobiiformia was not recovered in any analysis. Dilaridae were not closely related to the clade comprising Mantispidae and Berothidae, and diverged earlier than proposed previously. The phylogenetic status and taxonomic composition of Polystoechotidae and Ithonidae are in need of re‐evaluation, as Oliarces Carpenter (presently Ithonidae) was placed well within the present circumscription of Polystoechotidae.}, number={3}, journal={SYSTEMATIC ENTOMOLOGY}, author={Winterton, Shaun L. and Hardy, Nate B. and Wiegmann, Brian M.}, year={2010}, month={Jul}, pages={349–378} }

DNA sequences from 40 species in 22 genera of Acroceridae (representing all three subfamilies) were compared with outgroup exemplars from Nemestrinidae, Stratiomyidae, Tabanidae, and Xylophagidae. Parsimony and Bayesian simultaneous analyses of the full data set recover a well-resolved and strongly supported hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships for major lineages within the family. Molecular evidence supports the monophyly of traditionally recognised subfamilies Philopotinae and Panopinae, but Acrocerinae are polyphyletic. Panopinae, sometimes considered "primitive" based on morphology and host-use, are always placed in a more derived position in the current study. Furthermore, these data support emerging morphological evidence that the type genus Acrocera Meigen, and its sister genus Sphaerops, are atypical acrocerids, comprising a sister lineage to all other Acroceridae. Based on the phylogeny generated in the simultaneous analysis, historical divergence times were estimated using Bayesian methodology constrained with fossil data. These estimates indicate Acroceridae likely evolved during the late Triassic but did not diversify greatly until the Cretaceous.}, number={3}, journal={MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION}, author={Winterton, Shaun L. and Wiegmann, Brian M. and Schlinger, Evert I.}, year={2007}, month={Jun}, pages={808–832} }

When more than one equally parsimonious tree is found during the constrained search for trees lacking the node of interest, averaging PBS for each data set across these trees can conceal conflict, and PBS should ideally be examined for each constrained tree. Similarly, when multiple most parsimonious trees (MPTs) are generated during analysis of the combined data, PBS is usually calculated on the consensus tree. However, extra information can be obtained if PBS is calculated on each of the MPTs or even suboptimal trees.}, number={4}, journal={CLADISTICS-THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THE WILLI HENNIG SOCIETY}, author={Lambkin, CL and Lee, MSY and Winterton, SL and Yeates, DK}, year={2002}, month={Aug}, pages={436–444} }

Exemplars from all 13 previously defined genera of the subfamily are compared with outgroups from the Nothochrysinae (Nothochrysa McLachlan) and Chrysopinae (Italochrysa Principi) in a parsimony analysis of 78 character states across 39 adult morphological characters. The analysis resulted in three most parsimonious trees with a length of 70 steps. The Apochrysinae are confirmed as monophyletic, with the enigmatic genus Nothancyla as the sister to the rest of the subfamily. The phylogenetic relationships among the genera of Apochrysinae are discussed, as are primitive and derived venational characters and wing vein reticulation in apochrysine wings. Six valid genera are recognized in light of the analysis: Apochrysa Schneider (Anapochrysa Kimmins, Lauraya Winterton, Nacaura Navás, Oligochrysa Esben-Petersen and Synthochrysa Needham, syns. nov.), Domenechus Navás, Joguina Navás (Lainius Navás syn. nov.), Loyola Navás (Claverina Navás syn. nov.), Nobilinus Navás and Nothancyla Navás. Valid genera are rediagnosed in a revised classification.
