Polyneoptera

The cohort Polyneoptera[1][2] is a proposed taxonomic ranking for the Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets, etc.) and all other Neopteran insects believed to be more closely related to Orthoptera than to any other insect orders. These winged insects, now in the Paraneoptera, were formerly grouped as the Hemimetabola or Exopterygota on the grounds that they have no metamorphosis, the wings gradually developing externally throughout the nymphal stages.[3]

Phylogeny

Song et al 2016 proposed a molecular phylogeny for the Polyneoptera, as shown in the phylogenetic tree:[7]

Polyneoptera

Dermaptera (earwigs)

Plecoptera (stoneflies)

Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets)

Grylloblattodea (ice crawlers)

Mantophasmatodea (gladiators)

Zoraptera (angel insects)

Embioptera (webspinners)

Phasmatodea (stick insects)

Mantodea (mantises)

Blattodea (inc. Isoptera) (cockroaches, termites)
