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.
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.
Pseudocaeciliidae is a family of Psocodea belonging to the suborder Psocomorpha. The name stems from a superficial resemblance to the distantly related family Caeciliusidae. The family is closely related to the family Philotarsidae, both within the infraorder Philotarsetae.
Psocidae is a family of barklice in the order Psocodea.
Compsocidae is a family of Psocodea belonging to the suborder Troctomorpha. The family comprises two extant species in two genera, both found in Mesoamerica. Compsocus elegans is found in Mexico and Central America, while Electrentomopsis variegata is found in Mexico. The antennae of each species have 13 or 14 segments. Two extinct genera, Burmacompsocus and Paraelectrentomopsis are known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber of Myanmar.
Sphaeropsocidae is a family of Psocoptera belonging to the suborder Troctomorpha. Females of this family have reduced, beetle-like elytra, and lack hindwings, with males have either small or absent wings. The family comprises 22 known species in eight genera.
Caeciliusetae is an infraorder of Psocodea in the suborder Psocomorpha. There are about 6 families and more than 1,300 described species in Caeciliusetae.
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.
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.
Elipsocidae is a family of Psocodea belonging to the infraorder Homilopsocidea. Members of the family have a free areola postica. Many species are apterous. The family includes about 130 species in more than 30 genera.
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.
Tapinella is a genus of thick barklice in the family Pachytroctidae. There are at least 40 described species in Tapinella.
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. 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.
Psoquillidae is a family of bird nest barklice in the order Psocodea. There are about 8 genera and more than 30 described species in Psoquillidae.
Aaroniella is a genus of loving barklice in the family Philotarsidae. There are more than 40 described species in Aaroniella.
Paracaeciliidae is a family of bark lice in the order Psocodea. There are about 5 genera and more than 100 described species in Paracaeciliidae.
Amphientometae is an infraorder of psocids, one of two major division of the Troctomorpha within the order Psocodea. There are about 7 families and at least 230 described species in Amphientometae.
Manicapsocidae is a family of Psocodea. It contains 8 extant species in 4 genera, with most of the species being found in the Neotropics, with one species in the Afrotropics. The extinct family Electrentomidae has been suggested to be a synonym of this family, though this has been considered premature by other scholars in the absence of cladistic analysis. Confirmed fossil species of the family are nearly as numerous as living ones, extending back to the Mid-Cretaceous.
Philotarsetae is an infraorder of bark lice in the order Psocodea, within the suborder Psocomorpha.
