Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Arthropoda
Class:	Insecta
Subclass:	Pterygota
Branch:	Metapterygota
Infraclass:	Neoptera
Cohort:	Polyneoptera; Martynov, 1938
Synonyms

The cohort Polyneoptera^[1]^[2] is a proposed taxonomic ranking for the Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets, etc.) and all other Neopteran insects believed to be more closely related to Orthoptera than to any other insect orders. These winged insects, now in the Paraneoptera, were formerly grouped as the Hemimetabola or Exopterygota on the grounds that they have no metamorphosis, the wings gradually developing externally throughout the nymphal stages.^[3]

Taxonomy

The Polyneoptera Species File lists the following:^[4]

Superorder Dictyoptera

Blattodea – cockroaches and termites
Mantodea – praying mantises

Superorder Orthopterida

Synonyms include: Archaeorthoptera, Gryllidea, Orthopterodea, Orthopterodida, Orthopteroidea, Panorthoptera

†Caloneurodea
†Geraroptera
Orthoptera – 2 extant suborders:
- Caelifera – grasshoppers, groundhoppers, pygmy mole-crickets
- Ensifera – crickets, mole-crickets, katydids or bush crickets, camel crickets, wetas, etc.

Phylogeny

Song et al 2016 propose a molecular phylogeny for the Polyneoptera, as shown in the phylogenetic tree:^[6]

	Dermaptera (earwigs)

	Plecoptera (stoneflies)

Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets)

Grylloblattodea (ice crawlers)

Mantophasmatodea (gladiators)

	Zoraptera (angel insects)

	Embioptera (webspinners)

Phasmatodea (stick insects)

	Mantodea (mantises)

	Blattodea (inc. Isoptera) (cockroaches, termites)
