	Gordon's Zoraptera Page
		The Zoraptera a a very small order of insects, there are about 30 known species.
		The name Zoraptera comes from the Greek words "zor" meaning pure and "aptera" meaning wingless (they were named before the winged forms were discovered)
		Notes on Neotropical Zoraptera, with descriptions of two new species.

	Zoraptera
		The name Zoraptera, derived from the Greek "zor" meaning pure and "aptera" meaning wingless, was given to the order before winged forms were discovered.
		Members of the order Zoraptera are small (less than 4 mm) and usually found in rotting wood, under bark, or in piles of old sawdust.
		In most Zoraptera, there are two forms of adults: winged individuals are usually brown in color and have both eyes and ocelli, wingless individuals are usually blind and pale (unpigmented) in color.

	Zoraptera
		The name Zoraptera is derived from the Greek "zor" meaning pure and "aptera" meaning wingless, which was given to the order before winged forms were discovered.
		Some Zoraptera are blind, pale in colour, and wingless, while other members of the same species may be darkly pigmented with compound eyes and wings.
		Some species of Zoraptera have been found living in the nests of termites and mammals, but it is not known what these insects are doing there.

	Phylogeny of the Polyneoptera: Molecular and morphological evidence
		Due in part to the vast diversity of morphological variation in this group, interordinal relationships are ambiguous, the monophyly of Polyneoptera is questionable, and the placement of Zoraptera within Polyneoptera is uncertain.
		Prior analyses have demonstrated that Dictyoptera is monophyletic, yet Isoptera and Blattaria appear to be sister taxa rather than Blattaria and Mantodea as proposed in other studies.
		Approximately 120 ingroup and outgroup taxa were analyzed using a combination of morphological characters, 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA sequences, and Histone 3 protein coding sequences.

		The zoraptera do not have any economic significance what so ever.
		Generally, there are two forms of adults: the first ebing the winged adult which has both eyes and ocelli and is brown.
		Zoraptera reside in humus, leaf-liter, rooting wood, piles of old sawdust and under bark

	Acercaria (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		When the taxon Acercaria was established, the taxon Zoraptera Silvestri 1913 was not discovered yet, so it was not indicated neither as included, nor as excluded from Acercaria; judging by its original diagnosis and name, the taxon Acercaria should be regarded as excluding Zoraptera, because Zoraptera is characterized by presence of cerci.
		(which were given to a taxon excluding Zoraptera) should be regarded as junior univocal circumscriptional synonyms of Acercaria.
		can be attributed either to a taxon including Zoraptera, or to a taxon excluding Zoraptera; in the last case the names Panhomoptera s.str.
