Lachesilla tectorum is a species of Psocoptera from the Lachesillidae family that is endemic to the Canary Islands. [1]
Bromus tectorum, known as downy brome, drooping brome or cheatgrass, is a winter annual grass native to Europe, southwestern Asia, and northern Africa, but has become invasive in many other areas. It now is present in most of Europe, southern Russia, Japan, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Greenland, North America and western Central Asia. In the eastern US B. tectorum is common along roadsides and as a crop weed, but usually does not dominate an ecosystem. It has become a dominant species in the Intermountain West and parts of Canada, and displays especially invasive behavior in the sagebrush steppe ecosystems where it has been listed as noxious weed. B. tectorum often enters the site in an area that has been disturbed, and then quickly expands into the surrounding area through its rapid growth and prolific seed production.
Sempervivum tectorum, the common houseleek, is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, native to the mountains of southern Europe, cultivated in the whole of Europe for its appearance and a Roman tradition claiming that it protects buildings against lightning strikes.
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.
Iris tectorum is a plant species in the genus Iris, it is also in the subgenus Limniris. It is a rhizomatous perennial. It is native of China, Korea and Burma, with lavender-blue, bluish-violet, purple-blue, blue-lilac or sky blue flowers. There is a white form as well. It is a compact plant and is cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions of the world.
Crepis tectorum, commonly referred to as 'the narrowleaf hawksbeard' or 'narrow-leaved hawk's-beard', is an annual or winter annual plant between 30 and 100 centimetres in height. Originating in Siberia before being introduced to Canada in 1890, the narrowleaf hawksbeard's is an invasive species. Maintaining one branched, hairless and leafy stem during maturity, the narrowleaf hawksbeard has yellow leaves which are arranged in an alternate manner and less than 0.5 inches (13 mm) wide.
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.

Elegia tectorum, previously Chondropetalum tectorum or Restio tectorum, more commonly Cape thatching reed, or dakriet, is a member of the restio family, Restionaceae. It is a tufted perennial growing to between 1.5 and 2.25 m, with deciduous leaf sheaths. Flowers are less than 3 mm long. Petals are smooth or hairy in the upper half. E. tectorum is found in marshes and seeps on deep sand in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape of South Africa.
