The phylogenetic Zoraptera (angel insects) is one of the least diverse tera is thought to be closely related to either Paraneop-tera ( = hemipteroid orders: bugs, thrips, booklice, and es, termites, and mantis: Boudreaux, 1979; Kukalová-of some insect orders (e.g., Diplura and Grylloblattodea were imbedded within Holometabola). Wheeler et al. (2001) used direct optimization of morphological and molecular data, which minimizes incongruence between two data partitions. Kjer (2004) pointed out that, whe
