#wingless insects
- Apterygote — An insect belonging to the subclass Apterygota, characterized by the primitive absence of wings throughout the entire evolutionary history of the group; a small arthropod organism with direct development, lacking complex metamorphosis, typically living in soil, leaf litter, or humid environments.
- Aribi — A rare or regional taxonomic term used in old entomology or specialized papers to denote a specific group of insects or organisms presenting distinct structural features related to the absence of wings or the conformation of their mouthparts. In medical or biological lexicography, it can also appear as a derived form from a neologistic root indicating the absence or functional reduction of paired anatomical elements.
