Aphaniptera, or fleas; Lepidoptera, or moths and
butterflies; Neuroptera, as the ant-lions and
hellgamite; Coleoptera, or beetles; Hemiptera, as

Neuroptera Neu*rop"te*ra, n. pl. [Nl., fr. gr. ? nerve + ? a
wing, fr. ? to fly.] (Zo["o]l.)
An order of hexapod insects having two pairs of large,
membranous, net-veined wings. The mouth organs are adapted
for chewing. They feed upon other insects, and undergo a
complete metamorphosis. The ant-lion, hellgamite, and
lacewing fly are examples. Formerly, the name was given to a
much more extensive group, including the true Neuroptera and
the Pseudoneuroptera.
