Coniopterygoidea is a superfamily in the lacewing order Neuroptera which is considered the sister group to all other neuropteran clades. The superfamily includes the single living family Coniopterygidae (dustywings). In past classifications, Coniopterygoidea was expanded to include Sisyridae (spongillaflies) and placed in the paraphyletic suborder Hemerobiiformia.
