Prionoglarididae is a family of the order Psocodea (formerly Psocoptera)[1] that are barklice characterized by the reduction or simplification of the lacinia in adults and the specialised form of the male genitalia.[2] It contains the only known genus of animals, Neotrogla, where females possess a penis-like organ and take on typical male sex roles.[3]

Prionoglarididae includes about 9 genera with more than 20 known species. They have been found in Europe, Afghanistan, Namibia, and the United States .[4] The only genus found in the United States is Speleketor, which includes three species: Speleketor flocki, Speleketor irwini, and Speleketor pictus.[5]
