[[File:Brighteyes.png{{RandomExtant|thumbLumenocula|[[Brighteyes]] was the firsta jewel-eyed sauceback.]]}}'''Jewel-eyed saucebacks''' are a subgroup of [[sauceback]]s in the family [[Lumenoculidae]]. They are so named because, unlike most saucebacks which are blind, jewel-eyed saucebacks have eyes derived from their nostrils--called "eyestrils"--which have a shiny, jewel-like appearance. Most jewel-eyed saucebacks can flutter or glide, and some species are capable of powered flight.
