Scrutiny:
- Brock, 2021, Consideration of higher level classification being made (Cliquennois 2020 has made suggestions but some of these are not [yet] supported by molecular data (or are rank-free names) - as an interim step, the suborder Agathemeroidea has been downgraded and Areolatae/Anareolatae divisions removed, leaving the existing four superfamilies in Euphasmatodea and families without such a structure ftb.
