Neuroptera
(= Planipennia)
The tarsus of the middle and hind legs is almost always fivesegmented as in members of other holometabolous groups with the exceptions noted. Modification in number of tarsomeres is only known from the specialized raptorial fore legs of some mantispids (
New 1991
). No specific adhesive structures are present in members of
Sisyridae, Myrmeleontoidea
and
Ithonidae
. An arolium is developed in representatives of other groups (

).
