Megaloptera (alderflies, dobsonflies), 1993:p. 1 (The Megaloptera have long been recognized as a distinct segregate of neuropteroid insects, but their formal status has varied between that of suborder and order. They are clearly related to both Raphidioptera and Planipennia and most workers today opt to recognise each of these three groups as having full ordinal status.)
