Note: As is true to whole presentation of Palaeoptera, this presentation follows Bechly (1998-2002), mainly because it's the most complete source I have been able to locate so far. His works are critized at ToL by Trueman & Rowe, so take this with a grain of salt...

Another main source has been the wonderful list of Schorr, et al. (2003), which differs from one presented here in the composition of families recognized. For examble, They don't recognice family Hypolestidae.
