Myrmeleontiformia is a lacewing suborder in the order Neuroptera. The phylogeny of the Neuroptera has been explored using mitochondrial DNA sequences, and while issues remain for the group as a whole (the "Hemerobiiformia" being paraphyletic), the Myrmeleontiformia is generally agreed to be monophyletic, with one study giving the following cladogram:[1]
