Psocidae is a family of barklice in the order Psocodea (formerly Psocoptera). [1]

Members of this family are recognized by their wing-venation, where the areola postica is fused to the M-vein, giving rise to the so-called discoidal cell. This family is closely related to Myopsocidae. The family is widespread, including New Zealand.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Amphipsocidae</span> Family of booklice

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.

Myopsocidae is a family of mouse-like barklice, belonging to the infraorder Psocetae of the order Psocodea. This family is closely related to Psocidae, with which it shares similar wing-venation, but from which it is distinguished by three-segmented tarsi.

Pachytroctidae is a family of thick barklice in the order Psocodea. There are about 15 genera and at least 90 described species in Pachytroctidae.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Peripsocidae</span> Family of booklice

Peripsocidae is a family of Psocodea belonging to the suborder Psocomorpha. Members of the family are characterised by their absence of an areola postica in their wings. Many of the recently described genera are closely allied to Peripsocus. The family includes more than 300 species.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lachesillidae</span> Family of booklice

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.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lepidopsocidae</span> Family of booklice

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.
