[1] [2] Their mouthparts are entognathous, meaning that they are retracted within the head, unlike the insects. [1] Entognatha are apterous, meaning that they lack wings.
The primary characteristic of the apterygotes is they are primitively wingless. While some other insects, such as fleas, also lack wings, they nonetheless descended from winged insects but have lost them during the course of evolution. By contrast, the apterygotes are a primitive group of insects that diverged from other ancient orders before ...
There are various disparate groups of wingless insects.

They include Thysanura (silverfish and firebrats). Some species lacking wings are members of insect orders that generally do have wings.

They have a characteristic nine-segmented beaded (moniliform) antenna.
