Classification of Panephemeroptera:

Panephemeroptera, or Ephemeroptera s.1 (Ephemera/fg1)
 Protephemeroidea (Triplosoba/fg1)
  Euephemeroptera, or Ephemeroptera s.2 (Ephemera/fg2)
    † pm. Permoplectoptera (Protereisma/f1=Phtharthus/g1)
    Euplectoptera, or Ephemeroptera s.3 (Ephemera/fg3)

COMMENT. The names Archipteradelphia and Panarchiptera Crampton 1924 are the oldest ones, but their shortcoming is that they are formed from the wrong name "Archiptera". Originally the name Archiptera Haeckel 1896 was given to a larger artificial taxon, and Crampton (1924) wrongly used it for Ephemeroptera s.str. According to the general rules of nomenclature, this fact should not influence on availability and validity of the names Archipteradelphia and Panarchiptera; nevertheless, the younger name Panephemeroptera Crampton 1928 is preferrable.
