Neoptera(Ancient Greeknéos( "new" ) +pterón( "wing" )) is a classification group that includes most orders of the wingedinsects,specifically those that can flex their wings over theirabdomens.This is in contrast with the morebasalordersof winged insects (the "Palaeoptera"assemblage), which are unable to flex their wings in this way.

Neopterans
Temporal range:Late Carboniferous–Present
Bees (orderHymenoptera) can fold their wings over their abdomens, like other Neopterans.

Classification

edit

The taxon Neoptera was proposed byА.М. Martynovin 1923 and 1924, in the following classification:[1][2]

Pterygota

The orderThysanopteraoriginally had uncertain systematic position, and later was attributed to Paraneoptera. Other classifications were proposed, subordinating Neoptera either directly to Pterygota (as in Martynov's classification), or to Metapterygota:

Phylogeny

edit

The phylogeny of Neoptera is shown in thecladogram,using the molecular phylogeny of Wipfler et al. 2019 for thePolyneoptera,[3]Johnson et al 2018 for theParaneoptera(wherePsocomorphacontainsPhthiraptera),[4]and Kjer et al 2016 for theHolometabola.[5]
