在早期的分類學上被分至「同翅目」或「同翅亞目」的物種,因為當時基於細胞核DNA的研究顯示,「同翅目」與半翅目屬於並系群[5],因此 Homoptera 現在已成為無效名稱。
but more recent phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial DNA suggest that Homoptera may be a monophyletic group after all, a sister group of Heteroptera.[5]
The cause of the disparity in the analyses is suggested to be the long branch attraction effect in phylogenetic analysis, due to rapidly evolving DNA regions.[5]
