See text Myrmeleontiformia is an insect clade in the order Neuroptera, and which was historically treated as a suborder.

[1] The phylogeny of the Neuroptera has been explored using mitochondrial DNA sequences, and while issues remain for the order as a whole, such as "Hemerobiiformia" being paraphyletic, Myrmeleontiformia is generally agreed to be monophyletic, with one study giving the following cladogram:[2] Osmylidae (formerly in "Hemerobiiformia") Mantispidae (mantidflies) Ithonidae (moth lacewings) Chrysopidae (green lacewings) Nymphidae (split-footed lacewings) Myrmeleontidae (antlions) Ascalaphidae (owlflies) Clade Myrmeleontiformia
