Myrmeleontiformia is a lacewing suborder in the order Neuroptera. The phylogeny of the Neuroptera has been explored using 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:
Osmylidae (formerly in "Hemerobiiformia")
Mantispidae (mantidflies)
Ithonidae (moth lacewings)
Chrysopidae (green lacewings)
Nymphidae (split-footed lacewings)
Myrmeleontidae (antlions)
Ascalaphidae (owlflies)
