[9] Phylogenetic relationships within the Hymenoptera, based on both morphology and molecular data, have been intensively studied since 2000. [10] In 2023, a molecular study [10] based on the analysis of ultra-conserved elements confirmed many previous findings and produced a relatively robust phylogeny of the whole Order. Basal superfamilies ...
