Myrmeleontiformia is a lacewing suborder in the order Neuroptera. The phylogeny of the Neuroptera has been explored using mitochondrial DNA sequences, and while issues remain for the group as a whole (the "Hemerobiiformia" being paraphyletic), the Myrmeleontiformia is generally agreed to be monophyletic, giving the following cladogram:^[1]

Neuroptera

Osmylidae (formerly in "Hemerobiiformia")

Most of former "Hemerobiiformia"

Mantispidae (mantidflies)

	Ithonidae (moth lacewings)

	Chrysopidae (green lacewings)

Myrmeleontiformia

Nymphidae (split-footed lacewings)

	Myrmeleontidae (antlions)

	Ascalaphidae (owlflies)
