The species occurs on a range of trees and shrubs including:
They also occur in haystacks and leaf litter. [2]
Psocoptera are a paraphyletic group of insects that are commonly known as booklice, barklice or barkflies. The name Psocoptera has been replaced with Psocodea in recent literature, with the inclusion of the former order Phthiraptera into Psocodea.
Amphientomidae is a family of Psocodea belonging to the suborder Troctomorpha. The presence of scales on their wings gives them a superficial resemblance to the unrelated family Lepidopsocidae, and both families can pass for microlepidoptera to the untrained eye. The family comprises 100 species arranged in twenty genera.
Liposcelididae is a family of booklice of the order Psocodea, belonging to the suborder Troctomorpha. Members of this family are small and flattened, and often wingless. Mesothorax and metathorax fused in wingless forms.
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.
Ectopsocidae is a family of Psocodea belonging to the suborder Psocomorpha. The family includes fewer than 200 species, most of them in the genus Ectopsocus.
Archipsocidae is a family of barklice of the order Psocodea belonging to the suborder Psocomorpha. Members of the family are characterized by their reduced wing venation. Some species are viviparous. The family includes about 80 species in five genera.
Homilopscocidea is an infraorder of Psocodea. It is probably a paraphyletic group, still in use for lack of a better solution. There are about 7 families and more than 1,200 described species in Homilopsocidea.
Psocodea is a taxonomic group of insects comprising the bark lice, book lice and parasitic lice. It was formerly considered a superorder, but is now generally considered by entomologists as an order. Despite the greatly differing appearance of parasitic lice (Phthiraptera), they are believed to have evolved from within the former order Psocoptera, which contained the bark lice and book lice, now found to be paraphyletic. They are often regarded as the most primitive of the hemipteroids. Psocodea contains around 11,000 species, divided among four suborders and more than 70 families. They range in size from 1–10 millimetres (0.04–0.4 in) in length.
Paraneoptera or Acercaria is a superorder of insects which includes lice, thrips, and hemipterans, the true bugs. It also includes the extinct order Permopsocida, known from fossils dating from the Early Permian to the mid-Cretaceous.
