Burmorussidae is the earliest diverging group, with the Paroryssidae more closely related to modern Orussidae. The infraorder Orussomorpha was proposed for the grouping of Orussoidea with Karatavitidae, however Karatavitidae is now considered to be more basal than the clade consisting of Orussoidea and Apocrita (Euhymenoptera)
