Aparaglossata

Aparaglossata is a clade of insects comprising all modern holometabolous insects except for Hymenoptera.[1] The clade is named for one of its most recognizable synapomorphies, the absence of paraglossae. The clade is also characterized by a modification of the ovipositor and a reduction in number of Malpighian tubules.
