Notoptera

The wingless insect order Notoptera, a group first proposed in 1915, had been largely unused since its original conception until 2006.

For the plant genus, see Notoptera (plant).

Phylogeny

Terry and Whiting in 2005 named the lineage of insects that includes the Grylloblattodea and Mantophasmatodea the "Xenonomia".[1]

In 2006, Arillo and Engel described a new (fourth) species of rock crawler,[2] noting that the name Notoptera had been resurrected and redefined following Engel and Grimaldi's 2004 recommendation to give a single order, "Notoptera Crampton (sensu novum)", that includes both the living and fossil representatives of the lineage.[3] Also in 2006, Cameron, Barker, and Whiting studied the mitochondrial genomics of the Mantophasmatodea.[4] In 2008, Damgaard and colleagues examined the mitochondrial genome of 8 described and 4 undescribed Austrophasmatid species, and some Mantophasmatids; the major clades were confirmed.[5] In 2012, Predel and colleagues studied the peptidomics of 71 populations of Mantophasmatodea, confirming that Austrophasmatidae are monophyletic, and noting that the development of the capa-neurons of the ventral nervous system implies a close relationship with the Grylloblattodea.[6]

Overview

As now defined, the order comprises five families, three of them known only from fossils, two known from both fossil and living representatives, and fewer than 60 known species in total.
