Prionoglarididae
Large-winged Barklice
Prionoglarididae is a family of small, winged insects in the order Psocodea, commonly known as barklice or booklice. The family contains approximately 9 genera and over 20 described species distributed across Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. Members are characterized by reduced or simplified lacinia (mouthpart structures) in adults and highly specialized male genitalia. The genus Neotrogla is notable for exhibiting sex-reversed genitalia, with females possessing an intromittent organ (termed a gynosome) and males having vagina-like structures. Most species inhabit cave environments.
Speleketor flocki
Speleketor flocki is a species of cave-dwelling psocopteran insect in the family Prionoglarididae, described by Gurney in 1943. It belongs to the suborder Trogiomorpha, a group of psocids adapted to dark, humid environments. The genus Speleketor is specialized for cave habitats, with reduced or absent eyes and elongated appendages typical of troglobitic insects.
