Trogioidea

Cerobasis guestfalica, photographed by Brian Valentine.

Belongs within: Psocodea.

The Trogioidea is a group of small barklice with wings reduced or absent. The majority of living species are included in the subfamily Trogiinae with the South American genus Anomocopeus sometimes treated as a distinct family.

Characters (from Li 2002; translated using Mandarin Tools, all errors my own): Small size, wings (if present) not more than buds. Antennae with more than twenty segments, not annulated. Epicranial sutures complete or lateral arms absent; eyes large and not hairy, ocelli absent or three present, closely placed; lacinia tip not toothed or with only one large tooth, labial palp with four slender segments, terminal segment axe-shaped. Tarsus three-segmented, claw without preapical tooth.
