An overview of recent advances in our understanding of the higher phylogeny and classification is presented. Molecular and morphological cladistic and pre-cladistic studies are summarized. A superfamily-level classification of the Hymenoptera is offered to reflect recent advances in our understanding of the phylogenetic relationships of the Hymenoptera. It differs from most recent classifications in the recognition of the Diaprioidea, to include Diapriidae, Monomachidae, and Maamingidae.

A molecular phylogeny of the Cephinae (Hymenoptera, Cephidae) based on mtDNA COI gene: a test of traditional classification
TLDR
A molecular phylogeny of Cephinae based on a total of 68 sequences of mtDNA COI gene is reconstructed to test the traditional limits and relationships of taxa and indicates that a more robust phylogeny is required for a more plausible conclusion.

TLDR
A well supported phylogenetic structure is recovered for these early herbivorous hymenopteran clades, with new information regarding the monophyly of Xyelidae, the placement of the superfamily Pamphilioidea as sister to Tenthredinoidea + Unicalcarida, and the interrelationships among the tenthredinoid families Tenthredinidae, Cimbicidae, and Diprionidae.
Review of the hymenopteran fauna of New Caledonia with a checklist of species.
The hymenopteran fauna of New Caledonia is reviewed and compared with that of Australia and New Zealand, as well as other islands in the south-west Pacific. In conclusion, several different scenarios…
Head capsule characters in the Hymenoptera and their phylogenetic implications
TLDR
The head capsule of a taxon sample of three outgroup and 86 ingroup taxa is examined for characters of possible phylogenetic significance within Hymenoptera, and their character evolution explored by mapping them onto a phylogeny recently produced from a large morphological data set.
Molecular phylogeny of Monomorium pharaonis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) based on rRNA sequences of mitochondrial gene
TLDR
Using mitochondrial DNA knowledge, the molecular analysis was performed to classify the recovered species of hymenoptera collected from rabbit carcass, quickly and accurately, and will play an important role in the implementation of the Saudi database forensically relevant ants.

The taxonomic and biogeographic data of specimens belonging to the subfamily Cyrptinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) collected from different regions in Turkey between 1990 and 2018 were studied. An…

Phylogeny and generic concepts of the parasitoid wasp family Aulacidae (Hymenoptera: Evanioidea)
TLDR
The analyses demonstrate that the current generic classification of the Aulacidae is not a natural one and suggests a wider generic concept for Pristaulacus, which is redefined and rediagnosed here.

Towards simultaneous analysis of morphological and molecular data in Hymenoptera
TLDR
The first, preliminary, analysis of combined molecular and morphological data on higher level relationships in Hymenoptera is presented, and it supports Apocrita and Aculeata as groups, and the superfamly Chrysidoidea, but not ChalcidoideA, Evanioidesa, Vespoidea and Apoidea.
Order Hymenoptera *
TLDR
The order Hymenoptera is composed of 2 suborders, 27 superfamilies, 132 families, 8423 extant genera with an additional 685 extinct genera.
Identity and Phylogenetic Significance of the Metapostnotum in Nonaculeate Hymenoptera
The metapostnotum is present and distinguishable in members of nearly all examined families of Hymenoptera; its anatomy and associated structures are described and figured for representatives of…
Cladistics of the Chrysidoidea(Hymenoptera)
TLDR
The phylogenetic system here proposed is: Plumariidae is the sister-group of the other six families, which together form a monophyletic group.
Phylogeny and evolution of host-parasitoid interactions in hymenoptera.
TLDR
Based on current evidence, it appears that parasitism arose, from mycophagous ancestors, a single time within the hymenopteran order, and apparently evolved independently more than once.
Midcoxal Articulations and the Phylogeny of the Order Hymenoptera
Evidence from study of the structure and extrinsic musculature of the midcoxae in Hymenoptera supports the following hypothesized relationships: Orussidae and Apocrita are sister-groups; no evidence…
A phylogenetic reconstruction of the Ichneumonoidea (Hymenoptera) based on the D2 variable region of 28S ribosomal RNA
TLDR
The D2 variable region of 28S rRNA was sequenced in a wide range of Ichneumonoidea to provide the first comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of this superfamily, finding one well‐supported clade dominated by the more plesiomorphic life history strategies.
Phylogeny, classification and evolution of the Cynipoidea
TLDR
Cynipoid phylogeny and evolution is reviewed and an improved higher classification of the superfamily is presented, including the proposal of some nomenclatural changes at the family and genus level, amid convincing morphological evidence for cynipoid monophyly.
PHYLOGENY OF THE SUBFAMILIES OF THE FAMILY BRACONIDAE (HYMENOPTERA: ICHNEUMONOIDEA): A REASSESSMENT
Abstract— The recently published phylogeny of Braconidae by Quicke and van Achterberg is reassessed. Character‐state definitions and character polarities are evaluated, and more rigorous methods are…
Phylogenomic analysis reveals bees and wasps (Hymenoptera) at the base of the radiation of Holometabolous insects.
TLDR
Emerging genome projects are utilized to assemble and analyze a data set of 185 nuclear genes, resulting in a fully resolved phylogeny of the major insect model species, finding that bees and wasps are basal to the other major holometabolous orders.
