Neoptera
Sign in to saveAlso known as neopteran, neopterans
Neoptera (Ancient Greek néos ("new") + pterón ("wing")) is a classification group that includes most orders of the winged insects, specifically those that can flex their wings over their abdomens. This is in contrast with the more basal orders of winged insects (the "Palaeoptera" assemblage), which are unable to flex their wings in this way.
Neoptera is a group of winged insects that can fold their wings flat over their backs, a feature that distinguishes them from more ancient insect lineages. This ability to flex their wings is significant because it allowed these insects to diversify into most of the winged insect orders we see today, making Neoptera an important category for understanding insect evolution and diversity.

新翅下綱（しんしかこう）は、昆虫綱を大きく分けた分類群の一つ。有翅亜綱のうち、トンボ目・カゲロウ目を除いた大部分の目が含まれる。翅脈の多少や構造によって多新翅類（バッタ・ゴキブリなど）、準新翅類（チャタテムシ・カメムシなど）、貧新翅類（ハエ・ハチ・チョウなどやそのほかの高等な類を含む）に分けられる。このうち多新翅類・準新翅類は不完全変態、貧新翅類は完全変態を行う。 「https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=新翅下綱&oldid=61502541」から取得 カテゴリ: 昆虫
