The antlions are a group of about 2,000 species of insect in the neuropteran family Myrmeleontidae. They are known for the predatory habits of their larvae, which mostly dig pits to trap passing ants or other prey. In North America, the larvae are sometimes referred to as doodlebugs because of the marks they leave in the sand. The adult insects are less well known due to their relatively short lifespans compared to the larvae. Adults, sometimes known as antlion lacewings, mostly fly at dusk or just after dark and may be mistakenly identified as dragonflies or damselflies.
Osmylidae are a small family of winged insects of the net-winged insect order Neuroptera. The osmylids, also called lance lacewings, stream lacewings or giant lacewings, are found all over the world except North and Central America. There are around 225 extant species.
Neopanorpa is a paraphyletic genus of around 170 species of scorpionfly in Southeast Asia, nesting the genus Leptopanorpa.
Alderflies are megalopteran insects of the family Sialidae. They are closely related to the dobsonflies and fishflies as well as to the prehistoric Euchauliodidae. All living alderflies – about 66 species all together – are part of the subfamily Sialinae, which contains between one and seven extant genera according to different scientists' views.
Ascalaphinae is the type subfamily of the neuropteran owlfly family. Most species are found in the tropics. Their characteristic apomorphy, shared with the Ululodinae, is the ridge which divides each of their large compound eyes; both groups are thus sometimes known as split-eyed owlflies.
Chrysopinae is the nominate subfamily of green lacewings in the insect family Chrysopidae in the order Neuroptera. This subfamily is also the largest within the family and comprises about 60 genera.
Bittacus is a genus of hangingflies in the order Mecoptera. Members of the genus have a cosmopolitan distribution. The genus has existed since at least the earliest Late Cretaceous. Bittacus is considered "grossly paraphyletic" and serves as a catch-all for many distantly related species of hangingflies.
Myrmeleontinae is a subfamily of Myrmeleontidae, the antlions.
Myrmeleontini is an antlion tribe in the subfamily Myrmeleontinae.
Dendroleontinae is a subfamily of Myrmeleontidae, the antlions.
Dendroleontini is a tribe in the antlion subfamily Dendroleontinae.
Nemoleontini is an antlion tribe in the subfamily Myrmeleontinae.
Chrysopini is a tribe of green lacewings in the family Chrysopidae. There are about 32 genera and 926 described species in Chrysopini.
Ululodes is a genus of owlflies in the tribe Ululodini. There are 26 described species in Ululodes.
Dendroleon is a genus of antlions in the family Myrmeleontidae. There are more than 20 described species in Dendroleon.
Apertochrysa is a genus of green lacewings in the family Chrysopidae. There are 183 described species in the genus.
Mantispa is the type genus of insects in the family Mantispidae and subfamily Mantispinae. Species have a fairly worldwide distribution.
The Brachynemurinae are a subfamily of ant-lions, erected by Nathan Banks in 1927.
