Lachesillidae is a family of Psocodea belonging to the suborder Psocomorpha. Members of the family are characterized by a rounded, free areola postica in their wings. Males have diverse sclerotized genitalic structures. The family includes more than 400 species, most of them in the genus Lachesilla.
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.
Lachesilla rossica is a rare psocopteran species described from southern Russia. The species can be found in Ukraine as well. It has been found recently in the valley of the Allondon river, near Geneva, Switzerland. In the latter habitat, it is found together with Lachesilla bernardi, a congeneric species that is visually very similar to it: the examination of genitalia with a microscope is the only way to differentiate the two species.
