Usage notes
Apparently paraphyletic, because members of order Lecithoepitheliata order are more closely related to than they are to other members of Neoophora. The remaining members of Neoophora would apparently be monophyletic and would be members of clade Euneoophora clade in subclass Trepaxonemata subclass.
