Oligoneoptera problem

[Louise]

Hi!

I'm a student in biology and I have a problem with the position of mouth
parts on Neuroptera's head: are they in front of the head or at the bottom
like Orthoptera?  I don't have any specimens to observe nor books with the
information I'm searching for.  I know that this order is not the same as
Lepidoptera, but as it's in the same "super-order" (I think!),
Oligoneoptera - which is part of the Polyneoptera - I thought that someone
could give me an answer.

Many thanks!
