A suborder or infraorder classification within the order Embioptera, grouping certain webspinner insects.
From Embiidae (family) plus -ina (suborder suffix), following Linnaean hierarchical taxonomy conventions established in the 18th century.
The taxonomy of webspinners keeps changing as geneticists look at their DNA—scientists keep reshuffling these insects into different subgroups, which is why you'll see different classifications in old versus new textbooks, showing how 'objective' taxonomy is constantly being revised.
