Prionoglarididae is a family of Psocoptera that are barklice characterized by the reduction or simplification of the lacinia in adults and the specialised form of the male genitalia.[1] It contains the only known genus of animals, Neotrogla, where females possess a penis-like organ and take on typical male sex roles.[2]
Prionoglarididae includes about 9 genera with more than 20 known species. They have been found in Europe, Afghanistan, Namibia, and the United States.[3] The only genus found in the United States is Speleketor, which includes three species: Speleketor flocki, Speleketor irwini, and Speleketor pictus.[4]
