Annual Review of Entomology, 1983
One of the minor orders of insects, the Mecoptera comprise about 500 known extant species arranged in 32 genera and 9 families (22, 106). They have been of interest to entomologists out of proportion to their small numbers, however, because of their supposed ancestral relationship to the major orders Diptera and Lepidoptera.
