Superregnum: Eukaryota |
Familia: Myrmeleontidae
Subfamiliae: Acanthaclisinae - Brachynemurinae - Dendroleontinae - Dimarinae - Echthromyrmicinae - Glenurinae - Myrmecaelurinae - Myrmeleontinae - Palparinae - Pseudimarinae - Stilbopteryginae
The Subfamiliae shown above are radically different from BioLib and Lacewing Digital Library (which covers Neuropterida and supplies data to Catologue of Life). LDL has only 5 subfamiliae and BioLib only 3 (omitting 2 extinct subfamiliae).
Many of the Wikispecies subfamiliae are now treated as tribus by these 2 sources. It would seem that a major reworking of Familia Myrmeleontidae would be in order.
Proposed revision would be Subfamiliae: †Araripeneurinae – Myrmeleontinae (Rev.) – Palparinae (Rev.) – †Pseudonymphinae – Stilbopteryginae (Rev.)
