Coniopterygoidea is a superfamily in the lacewing order Neuroptera which is considered the sister group to all other neuropteran clades. The superfamily includes the single living family Coniopterygidae (dustywings).[1] In past classifications, Coniopterygoidea was expanded to include Sisyridae (spongillaflies) and placed in the paraphyletic suborder Hemerobiiformia.[citation needed]
