An unresolved issue has been the relationships of three clades of the Neuropterida (Kristensen, 1999), but more contentious are the relationships within the Antliophora that has provided more fundamental problems, such as whether the Siphonaptera is embedded within the Mecoptera (Whiting, 2002; Beutel and Pohl, 2006), and the possible paraphyly of the Nannochoristidae, traditionally included as the basalmost clade in the Mecoptera (Friedrich and Beutel, 2009, but see Wiegmann et al.
