Pseudocaeciliidae
Pseudocaeciliidae is a family of Psocodea (formerly Psocoptera) belonging to the suborder Psocomorpha. The name stems from a superficial resemblance to the distantly related family Caeciliusidae (formerly Caeciliidae). The family is closely related to the family Philotarsidae, both within the infraorder Philotarsetae.
Novopsocus
Novopsocus is a genus in the Pseudocaeciliidae family, with, until 2008, one described species endemic to New Guinea (described by Thornton. It was later found that the specimens of two different species (one of which undescribed) had been mixed, and an individual of a third species was found. The genus is characterised by a flat head with a sharp vertex, narrow, strap-like wings, and antennae with a broad, flattened first flagellar segment in the males of two species.
