Owlflies are derived antlions: anchored phylogenomics supports a new phylogeny and classification of Myrmeleontidae (Neuroptera) (2018, background): “Originally considered sister to all other Neuroptera (e.g. Withycombe, 1924), Ithonidae was recovered as sister to Myrmeleontoidea in recent morphological studies based on characters of larval head capsule (MacLeod, 1964) and adult terminalia (Aspöck & Aspöck, 2008).”
Evolution of lacewings and allied orders using anchored phylogenomics (Neuroptera, Megaloptera, Raphidioptera) (2018, background): “Rapismatidae and Polystoechotidae are considered synonymous with Ithonidae following Winterton & Makarkin (2010) and most lineages of the expanded concept of the family were sampled.”
On wings of lace: phylogeny and Bayesian divergence time estimates of Neuropterida (Insecta) based on morphological and molecular data (2010, background): “A sister-group relationship between Chrysopidae and Hemerobiidae has long been assumed based on overall larval similarities, but conclusive synapomorphies have yet to be defined (Withycombe, 1925).”
Phylogeny of Myrmeleontiformia based on larval morphology (Neuropterida: Neuroptera) (2017, background): “The more recent (early Miocene) Dominican amber preserves a diverse assemblage of Neuroptera, including the larvae of the extant genera Ululodes Smith, (Ascalaphidae) and Porrerus Navás, both also represented as adults (Engel & Grimaldi, 2007).”
