Neolepidoptera (/ˌniː.oʊˌlɛpɪˈdɒptərə/) is a clade within Myoglossata in suborder Glossata of order Lepidoptera, the butterflies and moths.[1] They differ from other Myoglossata in the larval stage abdominal prolegs, pupal morphology, and the mandibles are reduced in area. They also differ in their reproductive systems.[2] The prolegs have muscles and apical hooklets. The reproductive organs have two openings. There are also differences in the wing structure.[3] The pupae are "incomplete or obtect."[4]
