Afrotrogla is an African genus of large-winged psocids in the family Prionoglarididae, discovered and described by Charles Lienhard. There are three described species in Afrotrogla, all found in certain caves of Namibia. [1]
These three species belong to the genus Afrotrogla:
The bulbuls are members of a family, Pycnonotidae, of medium-sized passerine songbirds, which also includes greenbuls, brownbuls, leafloves, and bristlebills. The family is distributed across most of Africa and into the Middle East, tropical Asia to Indonesia, and north as far as Japan. A few insular species occur on the tropical islands of the Indian Ocean. There are 166 species in 32 genera. While different species are found in a wide range of habitats, the African species are predominantly found in rainforest, whereas Asian bulbuls are predominantly found in more open areas.
Pelochelys is a genus of very large softshell turtles in the family Trionychidae. They are found from peninsular India northeast to southern China, and south to Southeast Asia and New Guinea.
Trogiomorpha is one of the three major suborders of barklice, booklice, and parasitic lice in the order Psocodea, alongside Troctomorpha and Psocomorpha. There are about 8 families and more than 430 described species in Trogiomorpha. Trogiomorpha is widely agreed to be the earliest diverging of the three suborders, and retains the most primitive characteristics.
Asiopsocidae is a family of Psocodea belonging to the infraorder Caeciliusetae. The family is composed of 14 known species of barklice in three genera: Asiopsocus, Notiopsocus, and Pronotiopsocus. One species from each genus has been found in the United States.
Prionoglarididae is a family of the order Psocodea that are barklice characterized by the reduction or simplification of the lacinia in adults and the specialised form of the male genitalia. It contains the only known genus of animals, Neotrogla, where females possess a penis-like organ and take on typical male sex roles.
Lachesilla is the main genus in the psocopteran family Lachesillidae. There are at least 310 described species in Lachesilla. Frequent species in the Northern hemisphere include Lachesilla quercus and Lachesilla pedicularia. Some species are localized: Lachesilla merzi has been collected only once in Spain and Lachesilla rossica, apart from the original specimens that were found in southern Russia, is only known from the Valley of the Allondon river, near Geneva, Switzerland.
Caponiidae is a family of ecribellate haplogyne spiders that are unusual in a number of ways. They differ from other spiders in lacking book lungs and having the posterior median spinnerets anteriorly displaced to form a transverse row with the anterior lateral spinnerets. Most species have only two eyes, which is also unusual among spiders. A few species of Caponiidae variously have four, six or eight eyes. In some species the number of eyes will increase when the spiderling changes its skin as it grows towards adulthood.
Neotrogla is a genus of barklice noted for its reversed sex roles and organs, traits shared by all species of the genus.
The Metarbelidae are a family of the Cossoidea also called the carpenter or goat moths, and is sometimes treated as a subfamily, Metarbelinae of the Cossidae. No synapomorphies are shared with the Cossidae based on adult morphology. The family Metarbelidae was first described by Embrik Strand in 1909.
Psyllipsocidae is a family of cave barklice in the order Psocodea. There are about 7 genera and more than 70 described species in Psyllipsocidae.
Mesopsocus is a genus of middle barklice in the family Mesopsocidae. There are more than 60 described species in Mesopsocus.
Elipsocus is a genus of damp barklice in the family Elipsocidae. There are more than 20 described species in Elipsocus.
Asiopsocus is a genus of barklice, booklice, and parasitic lice in the family Asiopsocidae. There are about seven described species in Asiopsocus.
Psyllipsocus is a genus of cave barklice in the family Psyllipsocidae. There are more than 50 described species in Psyllipsocus.
Cerobasis is a genus of granary booklice in the family Trogiidae. There are at least 30 described species in Cerobasis.
Trichopsocus is a genus of lash-faced psocids in the family Trichopsocidae. There are about nine described species in Trichopsocus.
Prionoglaris is a genus of large-winged psocids in the family Prionoglarididae, of which it is the type genus. There are four described species in Prionoglaris, found in Europe and the Middle East.
Sensitibilla is an African genus of large-winged psocids in the family Prionoglarididae, discovered and described by Charles Lienhard. It contains four species.
Siamoglaris is a genus of psocids in the family Prionoglarididae, the only one in the Indomalayan realm.
Speleopsocus is a genus of psocids (booklice) in the family Prionoglarididae from the Tepui of Venezuela. It is monotypic, containing only one species, Speleopsocus chimanta.
