Neolepidoptera is a subcohort of cohort Myoglossata in suborder Glossata of order Lepidoptera, the butterflies and moths.[1] They differ from Myoglossata in the larval stage abdominal prolegs, pupal morphology, and the mandibles are reduced in size. 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]
