Taxonomic notes

† Nematophlebia is an extinct genus known only from one Early Jurassic species, † Nematophlebia plicata, from Gloucestershire or Warwickshire, England (without further locality). The original species description reports only a few general venational characteristics, which are not enough to confidently include this species in any specific megalopteran family.

Included species

† Nematophlebia plicata Cockerell, 1915

Palaearctic (England) [Early Jurassic].

Taxa excluded from the Megaloptera

In addition to the species above, which we recognize here as belonging to the order Megaloptera, several other taxa have been placed in the order by some authors. We list below the taxa that are known to us that have previously been included in the Megaloptera by one or more previous authors, but which are now excluded. For each taxon we provide brief taxonomic notes about its current placement. In the synonymical listings in this section we make no attempt to be comprehensive. We present only enough synonymy to document original taxon placements, prominent intermediate placements (in some cases), and current placements (outside Megaloptera). Because our primary intent is to document the exclusion of certain taxa from Megaloptera, we make no attempt to provide comprehensive sub-taxon listings (e.g., of genera within families, or species within genera) of the higher taxa included in the list below.
