An ongoing argument about whether this species falls under the Neuropterida or Orthoptera classification has been going on for decades, but scientists refer to its classification through specifics such as wing structure and genetic organization. The Glosselytrodea order resonates to the Neuropterida species through the constructional shape of its wings whilst it is related to the Orthoptera species through the organization of its veins.
