Lumenocula

Lumenocula contains all jewel-eyed saucebacks. They are distinguished from other saucebacks by their fluttering and sometimes flight abilities, and by their eyesight which involves the use of mirrors to focus an image on a retina at the front of the eye.

Family - Lumenoculidae
Lumenoculids are the most basal lumenoculans, which more or less just resemble harnessbacks with fans of flight feathers upon their legs.

Family - Argusraptoridae
Argusraptors are a flightless branch which are raptor-like monodactyl runners. Most of them are large predators.

Family - Ungulopteridae
Ungulopterids are the most basal flight-capable lumenoculans. They have long tails and live mostly on the ground, but can leap into the air to fly away from predators.

Family - Falcotheridae
Falcotheres, or ophreys, are monodactyl and have short tails, slotted wings, unidirectional lungs, and strong hooked jaws. The tail is airplane-like, consisting of a pair of feather fans on either side of a vertical crest-like structure derived from the tail spike.

Family - Cortuniraptoridae
Cortuniraptors, or quail raptors, have tiny, spine-like teeth and considerably more eyes than other species, as well as a pair of "spurs" on the base of the tail.

Family - Plumatibiidae
