unique-headed bugs
Enicocephalomorpha is an infraorder of true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) commonly known as unique-headed bugs. The group was formerly thought related to Reduviidae due to head structure similarities, but is now recognized as sufficiently distinct to constitute a separate infraorder and probably represents the sister group to the rest of Heteroptera. The infraorder contains the family Enicocephalidae, with genera such as Systelloderes and Xenicocephalus. Many species remain undescribed, particularly from tropical regions.
