Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
G. Bechly 2002Wing venational autapomorphies: The present hypothesis of closest relationships between the Callimokaltaniidae, Hemizygopteridae and Ditaxineuridae is supported by the analysis of Bechly (1998) who created the clade Ditaxineu- rida for [Callimokaltaniidae + Ditaxineuroidea (= Hemizy- gopteridae + Ditaxineuridae, sensu Bechly (1996))]. The clade Ditaxineurida is supported by the following synapomorphy: ‘free part of CuP between MP&Cu and AA nearly perpendicular to MP&Cu and AA’. The ‘presence of only few cross-veins in the antesubnodal area between RA and RP’ is also a synapomorphy shared by these taxa. The ‘presence of only a short distal posterior branch of RA’ could also be a synapomorphy of this clade but the polarization of this character remains difficult because it is unknown in the possible outgroups, as the ‘presence of a distal posterior branch of RA’ is a synapomorphy of the Protanisoptera.
