A wingless insect is an insect that does not have wings.
Many groups of insects do not have wings, so wingless sub-groups are unremarkable. Apterygota are a subclass of small, agile insects, distinguished from other insects by their lack of wings in the present and in their evolutionary history. Thysanura (silverfish and firebrats), Arixeniidae (wingless earwigs).
