Abstract: The primary and selected secondary literature pertaining to the insect superorder Neuropterida (orders Neuroptera, Megaloptera and Raphidioptera) are catalogued. Particular emphasis is placed on documenting the primary scientific literature relevant to the group; popular and other non-primary sources are documented where considered noteworthy, as are selected web-native works. Bibliography coverage is worldwide and includes all aspects of neuropterology. Coverage is particularly complete in the following subject areas: systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny, biogeography, morphology, paleontology, biology and faunistics. Less complete, but still extensive, coverage is present for the subject areas physiology, parasites, ecology, and biological control. Each work included in the bibliography is represented by a uniquely numbered bibliographic record. Individual records can be located, or lists of related records generated, by interactively searching on a suite of standardized data fields. Bibliographic records provide standardized data for citing and locating works, and, where available and permissible, links to one or more digital representations of those works. Many records contain detailed data on the correct dating of works for the purposes of zoological nomenclature. This version of the bibliography contains bibliographic records for approximately 11,800 works, and provides links to digital representations of approximately 4300 works.
