Notoptera
The wingless insect order Notoptera, a group first proposed in 1915, has been largely unused since its original conception, but in the most recent classification of the lineage of insects that includes the Grylloblattodea and Mantophasmatodea,[1] the name was resurrected and redefined so as to give a single order that includes both the living and fossil representatives of the lineage.
