One of the key morphological features of Nycteribiidae is their highly reduced compound eyes. Many species of Nycteribiidae contain no visible eyes or contain only rudimentary eye spots. None of the species contains wings. They have backward folded legs that resemble those of spiders and a dorsally inserted head. ==References==
