Bark lice

Ectopsocus meridionalis

Classification

Class: Insecta
Order: Psocodea
Family: Ectopsocidae

Psocoptera () are a paraphyletic group of insects that are commonly known as booklice, barklice or barkflies. The name Psocoptera has been replaced with Psocodea in recent literature, with the inclusion of the former order Phthiraptera into Psocodea (as part of the suborder Troctomorpha). They are often regarded as the most primitive of the paraneopterans.
