“…Within the infraorder Epipsocetae (Yoshizawa 2002), the family Epipsocidae constitutes a large assemblage of 24 described genera (Casasola González 2006, García Aldrete & Casasola González 2008. I here describe two additional genera, one from Belize, related to Mesepipsocus, and other from Thailand, that holds a sister group relation to the cluster Goja-Rogojiella-Ianthorntonia (see Fig.…”

“…This study includes all genera now recognized in the group Epipsocetae (Lienhard & Smithers 2002, Li Fasheng 2002, García Aldrete 2004a, 2004b, 2005a, 2005b and in press). The species (terminal taxa) were examined directly or through the literature (Appendix I).…”

“…Epipsocetae is one of the six infraorders of Psocoptera recognized within the suborder Psocomorpha (Yoshizawa 2002). The group comprises approximately 36 genera with 275 described species, besides the incertae sedis genus Parepipsocus Badonnel (Eertmoed 1973, Mockford 1998, Lienhard & Smithers 2002, Li Fasheng 2002, García Aldrete 2004a, 2004b, 2005a, 2005b). These genera are predominantly pantropical, only Bertkauia also occuring in temperate zones of North America and in most of Europe.…”

Phylogenetic relationships of the genera of Epipsocetae (Psocoptera: Psocomorpha)

The phylogenetic relationships of the genera of Epipsocetae were inferred on the basis of 122 morphological characters of adult specimens, corroborating the monophyly of the group with ten synapomorphies. The genera are grouped in well defined clades consistent at family level. Dolabellopsocidae, Ptiloneuridae and Epipsocidae are recognized as monophyletic families. In each family, the genera appear as monophyletic units, except in Epipsocidae, where the relationships are ambiguous and monophyly of most genera is not supported. Results indicate that Cladiopsocidae is paraphyletic; it was divided into two monophyletic families: Spurostigmatidae and Cladiopsocidae (sensu stricto), represented by the genera Spurostigma and Cladiopsocus respectively. Neurostigma is recognized as a monophyletic genus closely related to other epipsocid genera, nevertheless due to the low resolution obtained within Epipsocidae, it is not possible to decide if it is a genus of that family or if it forms a different clade at family level. The genera Parepipsocus Badonnel, previously considered as incertae sedis, and Dimidistriata Li & Mockford, previously placed tentatively in Dolabellopsocidae, are included in Epipsocidae. Loneuroides, Terryerwinia and Timnewia are recognized as valid genera. Two well defined clades are recognized within E pipsocidae, one with exclusively American genera, and the other that includes Asiatic and American genera.
