Order of insects
Hymenopterida is a superorder of holometabolous (metamorphosing) insects . As originally circumscribed, it included Hymenoptera and the orders in Panorpida (Mecoptera , Siphonaptera , Diptera , Trichoptera and Lepidoptera ).[ 1] [ 2]
Evolution The following phylogenetic tree shows the internal relationships of the superorder as a clade of Hymenoptera and the orders that comprise Panorpida .[ 3] [ 4]
More recent molecular analyses find a different arrangement within Holometabola , with Hymenoptera as the earliest branching group.[ 5]
