Estrepsípteros: Diferenzas entre revisións

== Clasificación ==

The order, named by [[William Kirby (entomologist)|William Kirby]] in 1813, is named for the [[Hindwing|hind wings]], which are held at a twisted angle when at rest ([[Greek language|Greek]] στρεψι-, combining form of {{lang|el|[[wikt:στρέφω|στρέϕειν]]}}, to twist; and {{lang|el|[[wikt:πτερόν|πτερόν]]}}, wing). The fore wings are reduced to [[halteres]] (and initially were thought to be dried and twisted).

Strepsiptera are an enigma to taxonomists. Originally, they were believed to be the sister group to the beetle families [[Meloidae]] and [[Ripiphoridae]], which have similar parasitic development and forewing reduction; early molecular research suggested their inclusion as a sister group to the [[flies]],<ref name=insencyc/> in a clade called the halteria,<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Whiting | first1 = Michael F. | year = 1998 | title = Long-Branch Distraction and the Strepsiptera | url = http://whitinglab.byu.edu/PDF/longbranchstrep.pdf | format = PDF | journal = Systematic Biology | volume = 47 | issue = 1| pages = 134–138 | doi=10.1080/106351598261076}}</ref> which have one pair of the wings modified into halteres,<ref name=strepprob>{{cite journal | last1 = Whiting | first1 = Michael F. | last2 = Carpenter | first2 = James C. | last3 = Wheeler | first3 = Quentin D. | last4 = Wheeler | first4 = Ward C. | year = 1997 | title = The Stresiptera Problem: Phylogeny of the Holometabolous Insect Orders Inferred from 18S and 28S Ribosomal DNA Sequences and Morphology | url = | journal = Systematic Biology | volume = 46 | issue = 1| pages = 1–68 | doi=10.2307/2413635}}</ref> and failed to support their relationship to the beetles.<ref name=strepprob/> Further molecular studies, however, suggested they are outside the clade Mecopterida (containing the Diptera and Lepidoptera), but found no strong evidence for affinity with any other extant group.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Bonneton | first1 = F. | last2 = Brunet | first2 = F.
