Myopsocidae
Myopsocidae is a family of mouse-like barklice, belonging to the infraorder Psocetae of the order Psocodea (formerly Psocoptera). This family is closely related to Psocidae, with which it shares similar wing-venation, but from which it is distinguished by three-segmented tarsi. There are about 8 genera and at least 180 described species in Myopsocidae. Genera These eight genera belong to the family Myopsocidae: * '' Gyromyus'' * '' Lichenomima'' Enderlein, 1910 * '' Lophopterygella'' * '' Mouldsia'' * '' Myopsocus'' Hagen, 1866 * '' Nimbopsocus'' * '' Smithersia'' * '' Thorntonodes'' c g Data sources: i = ITIS, c = Catalogue of Life, g = GBIF, b = Bugguide.net Sources * Lienhard, C. & Smithers, C.

Psocodea
Psocodea is a taxonomic group of insects comprising the bark lice, book lice and parasitic lice. It was formerly considered a superorder, but is now generally considered by entomologists as an order. Despite the greatly differing appearance of parasitic lice (Phthiraptera), they are believed to have evolved from within the former order Psocoptera, which contained the bark lice and book lice, now found to be paraphyletic. They are often regarded as the most primitive of the hemipteroids. Psocodea contains around 11,000 species, divided among four suborders and more than 70 families. They range in size from 1–10 millimetres (0.04–0.4 in) in length. The species known as booklice received their common name because they are commonly found amongst old books—they feed upon the paste used in binding. The barklice are found on trees, feeding on algae and lichen. Anatomy and biology Psocids are small, scavenging insects with a relatively generalized body plan. They feed pr ...

Psocidae
Psocidae is a family of barklice in the order Psocodea (formerly Psocoptera). Members of this family are recognized by their wing-venation, where the areola postica is fused to the M-vein, giving rise to the so-called discoidal cell. This family is closely related to Myopsocidae. The family is widespread, including New Zealand. Genera These 86 genera belong to the family Psocidae: * '' Amphigerontia'' Kolbe, 1880 * '' Anomaloblaste'' * '' Arabopsocus'' * '' Atlantopsocus'' * '' Atrichadenotecnum'' * '' Atropsocus'' Mockford, 1993 * '' Barrowia'' * '' Blaste'' Kolbe, 1883 * '' Blastopsocidus'' * '' Blastopsocus'' Roesler, 1943 * '' Brachinodiscus'' * '' Camelopsocus'' Mockford, 1965 * '' Cephalopsocus'' * '' Cerastipsocus'' Kolbe, 1884 * '' Ceratostigma'' * '' Cervopsocus'' * '' Chaetoblaste'' * '' Chaetopsocidus'' * '' Chilopsocus'' * '' Clematoscenea'' * '' Clematostigma'' * '' Copostigma'' * '' Cycetes'' * '' Cyclotus'' Swainson, 1840 * '' Dactylopsocus'' * '' Dictyopsocus ...

Arthropod Leg
The arthropod leg is a form of jointed appendage of arthropods, usually used for walking. Many of the terms used for arthropod leg segments (called podomeres) are of Latin origin, and may be confused with terms for bones: ''coxa'' (meaning hip, plural ''coxae''), ''trochanter'', ''femur'' (plural ''femora''), ''tibia'' (plural ''tibiae''), ''tarsus'' (plural ''tarsi''), ''ischium'' (plural ''ischia''), ''metatarsus'', ''carpus'', ''dactylus'' (meaning finger), ''patella'' (plural ''patellae''). Homologies of leg segments between groups are difficult to prove and are the source of much argument. Some authors posit up to eleven segments per leg for the most recent common ancestor of extant arthropods but modern arthropods have eight or fewer. It has been argued that the ancestral leg need not have been so complex, and that other events, such as successive loss of function of a ''Hox''-gene, could result in parallel gains of leg segments. In arthropods, each of the leg segments ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
