Several slow evolving characters are evaluated here with the main objective of reinforcing the higher classiication of Embioptera. An auditory chordotonal organ is described for the Order Embioptera where differences in shape and position according to taxonomic group are observed. Through the use of ultrastructure analysis on both silk ejector and various types of leg setae are also depicted within a taxonomic framework. The correlation of the new traits and their different conditions are tested by using the current phylogeny of the order.
