“…Martins-Neto (1994) originally placed Cratochrysa in Mesochrysopidae, but later (Martins-Neto, 1997) reassigned it to Chrysopidae incertae sedis, then (Martins-Neto, 2003) to the chrysopid subfamily Cratochrysinae. Wichard et al (2005) described the family Corydasialidae in Megaloptera, and in the same year Nel et al (2005b) Martins-Neto & Vulcano, 1989a Genus Limaia Martins-Neto & Vulcano, 1989aLimaia Martins-Neto & Vulcano, 1989a.

“…More-recent species from extant and extinct genera have been described from the Cenozoic, mostly from the Eocene, Miocene, and Pliocene of Australia, Canada, Russia, Turkey, France, Germany, Dominican Republic, and the USA (Table 2) [23]. The neuropteroid family Corydasialidae was proposed from a specimen preserved in Baltic amber (late Eocene) [24]. A second species was assigned from a compressed forewing from the Ypresian (early Eocene) Okanagan Highlands, British Columbia, Canada [25].…”

Megaloptera belong to a large monophyletic group, the Neuropteroidea, together with Coleoptera, Strepsiptera, Raphidioptera, and Neuroptera. With the latter two, this order constitutes the Neuropterida, a smaller monophyletic subset among which it is the only entirely aquatic group, with larvae of all species requiring submersion in freshwater. Megaloptera is arguably the oldest extant clade of Holometabola with aquatic representatives, having originated during the Permian before the fragmentation of Pangea, since about 230 Ma. It includes 54 genera (35 extant and 19 extinct genera), with 397 extant described species and subspecies. Recent Megaloptera are divided into two families: Corydalidae (with subfamilies Corydalinae—dobsonflies and Chauliodinae—fishflies) and Sialidae (alderflies), both widely yet disjunctively distributed among zoogeographical realms. All species of Megaloptera have aquatic larvae, whereas eggs, pupae, and adults are terrestrial. The anatomy, physiology, and behavior of megalopteran larvae are specialized for an aquatic predatory habit, yet their ecological significance might still be underappreciated, as their role in food webs of benthic communities of many temperate and tropical streams and rivers is still understudied and largely unquantified. In many freshwater ecosystems, Megaloptera larvae are a conspicuous benthic component, important in energy flow, recycling of materials, and food web dynamics.

Toarciconiopteryx dipterosimilis gen. et sp. nov. is described from the Lower Toarcian of Grimmen (Western Pomerania, Germany) based on a hind wing. This enigmatic wing superficially resembles a dipteran forewing, but analysis in detail establishes that it belongs to the Neuroptera. We assign it to the Coniopterygidae with great confidence by its great concordance with the hind wings of that family, but a small possibility remains that it might belong to the Dipteromantispidae, although the very derived haltere-like hind wings of all its known members are entirely unlike it. We, therefore, consider it to be the oldest record of Coniopterygidae. We create the new subfamily Toarciconiopteryginae subfam. nov. for it, which is distinguished from other Coniopterygidae by its hind wings possessing two branches of RP and a proximal forking of M. These conditions are also known in some Sialidae (Megaloptera), supporting the hypothesis that Coniopterygidae is the sister group of all other Neuroptera, as Megaloptera is considered by most authors to be sister to Neuroptera. New interpretations of some aspects of the Coniopterygidae venation are proposed.
