The Classification and Phylogeny of Insects

摘要: The classification of insects has passed through many changes and with the growth detailed knowledge an increasing number orders come to be recognized. Handlirsch (1908) Wilson Doner (1937) have reviewed earlier attempts at classification, among which schemes Brauer (1885), Sharp (1899) Borner (1904) did much define more distinctive recent orders. In 1908 published a revolutionary system, incorporating fossil forms, gave Collembola, Thysanura Diplura status three independent Arthropodan classes considered as separate such groups Sialoidea, Raphidioidea, Heteroptera Homoptera. He also split up old order Orthoptera, its components ordinal rank regrouped them some other into subclass Orthopteroidea another Blattaeformia. This system was modified somewhat by (1926) influenced Brues, Melander Carpenter (1954), Weber (1933), Martynov (1938) Jeannel (1949). More recently, general classifications been set out Beier (1969), Hennig (1953, 1969) Mackerras (1970).
