Lepidopsocidae are an insect family of bark lice belonging to the suborder Trogiomorpha. Colloquially, Lepidopsocidae are referred to as the Scaly-winged Barklice. There are more than 220 species described worldwide. Phylogenetic DNA analysis of relationships between families in Trogiomorpha propose that Lepidopsocidae is monophyletic, meaning that the taxa within all share a common ancestor. [1] This is supported morphologically by the presence of scales and setae covering the body and forewings of Lepodopsocids. Sister families of Lepidoposcidae include Trogiidae and Psoquillidae.
Lepidopsocidae was described by Gunther Enderlein in The Scaly Winged Copeognatha (Monograph of the Amphientomidae, Lepidopsocidae, and Lepidillidae in relation to their Morphology and Taxonomy), published in 1906. [2] Subfamilies of Lepidopsocidae include: [3] [4] [5]
These 21 genera belong to the family Lepidopsocidae: [3] [4] [5]
Psocomorpha is a suborder of barklice, booklice, and parasitic lice in the order Psocodea. There are more than 20 families and 5,300 described species in Psocomorpha.
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 earliest diverging of the three suborders, and retains the most primitive characteristics.
Troctomorpha is one of the three major suborders of Psocodea (barklice, booklice, and parasitic lice), alongside Psocomorpha and Trogiomorpha. There are more than 30 families and 5,800 described species in Troctomorpha. The order includes parasitic lice, which are most closely related to the booklice family Liposcelididae.
Amphipsocidae is a family of hairy-winged barklice in the order Psocodea. Most species are 3.0-4.5 mm long and have many setae (hairs) on the veins and margin of the forewing. The main veins of the forewing are usually lined with two rows of setae. Like the other members of the infra-order Caeciliusetae, they have a broad, flat labrum, with well defined edges.
Caeciliusetae is an infraorder of Psocodea in the suborder Psocomorpha. There are about 6 families and more than 1,300 described species in Caeciliusetae.
Caeciliusidae is a family of Psocodea belonging to the suborder Psocomorpha. The family was once named Caeciliidae, but the latter name was changed because of homonymy with the amphibian family Caeciliidae. The subfamily Paracaeciliinae was formerly in Caeciliusidae, but it has been elevated to family rank, Paracaeciliidae.
Ptyctini is a tribe of common barklice in the family Psocidae. There are about 6 genera and at least 20 described species in Ptyctini.
Psocinae is a subfamily of common barklice in the family Psocidae. There are about 11 genera and at least 40 described species in Psocinae.
Echmepteryx is a genus of scaly-winged barklice in the family Lepidopsocidae. There are more than 80 described species in Echmepteryx.
Rhyopsocus is a genus of bird nest barklice in the family Psoquillidae. There are more than 20 described species in Rhyopsocus.
Soa is a genus of scaly-winged barklice in the family Lepidopsocidae. There are about six described species in Soa.
Lichenomima is a genus of mouse-like barklice in the family Myopsocidae. There are more than 40 described species in Lichenomima.
Stimulopalpus is a genus of tropical barklice in the family Amphientomidae. There are at least 30 described species in Stimulopalpus.
Echmepteryx intermedia is a species of scaly-winged barklouse in the family Lepidopsocidae. It is found in the Caribbean Sea, Central America, and North America.
Embidopsocus is a genus of booklice in the family Liposcelididae. There are more than 40 described species in Embidopsocus.
Philotarsus is a genus of loving barklice in the family Philotarsidae. There are about 18 described species in Philotarsus.
Thylacella is a genus of scaly-winged barklice in the family Lepidopsocidae. There are at least 20 described species in Thylacella.
Polypsocus is a genus of hairy-winged barklice in the family Amphipsocidae. There are more than 20 described species in Polypsocus.
Neolepolepis is a genus of scaly-winged barklice in the family Lepidopsocidae. There are at least four described species in Neolepolepis.
Amphientometae is an infraorder of psocids in the order Psocoptera. There are about 7 families and at least 230 described species in Amphientometae.
