Enicocephalomorpha

Enicocephalomorpha is an infraorder of the hemipteran suborder Heteroptera ("true bugs"). The infraorder was formerly thought to be related to the Reduviidae because of similarities in head structure. Entomologists now believe it is different enough from other Heteroptera to constitute a separate infraorder and probably represents the sister group of the rest of the suborder.[1]
