    Amphiesmenoptera is an insect superorder, established by S. G. Kiriakoff, [1] but often credited to Willi Hennig in his revision of insect taxonomy for two sister orders: Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) and Trichoptera (caddisflies). In 2017, a third fossil order was added to the group, the Tarachoptera. [2]
