Keys to the families and genera of Psocoptera (Arthropoda: Insecta)

Diversity of Psocoptera (Insecta: Psocodea) at the National Natural Park Gorgona (Pacific Ocean, Colombia). Psocopterans are insects that have been recorded from all zoogeographic regions but have more species in the tropics. We studied their diversity of in four habitats (Beaches, Village, Trails and Arboreal strata) at the Gorgona National Natural Park, Colombia, from samples collected during November 2009 and October 2010. We added the arboreal Psocoptera collected by canopy fogging in November 2007. The specimens collected were identified to genus and/or to species or morphospecies level. Comparisons were made of the richness and diversity among sites. Although there was no significant difference in the diversity estimated by the Shannon-Wiener index, high species richness and abundance were recorded for the Beaches and Village habitats. The psocid community of Gorgona occurs mainly where vegetation cover is low. Rev. Biol. Trop. 62 (Suppl. 1): 257-264. Epub 2014 February 01.

“…All that can be stated now is that it is clearly generically distinct and appears to belong to the group of genera at present placed in the Propsocinae (cf. list in Smithers, 1990). Within the subfamily it appears to be closest to the subantarctic genus Antarctopsocus which it resembles in having similar gonapophyses and phallosome, in lacking ocelli and also in having a veinless, sclerotized fore wing remnant.…”

“…Discussion. -In Smithers's (1990) keys to families of Psocoptera, the fossil matches with the Mesopscocidae for the following features: adult macropterous, tarsi trimerous, body and wings without flattened scales, forewing venation complex (i.e. not reduced to two veins), pterostigma thicker than rest of wing membrane, head not elongate and labrum without two ridges from base to anterior margin, areola postica free, Cu1a and Cu1b separate near wing margin, forewing margin and veins glabrous.…”
