Archipsocus Cervinus
''Archipsocus'' is a genus of bark lice in the insect family Archipsocidae. Members of this genus are found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world and were first reported in North America in 1934 when '' Archipsocus nomas '' became abundant near New Orleans. Psocids in the genus ''Archipsocus'' differ from each other on minute particulars and there is not a single feature that can be used to diagnose all the species. Some characteristics that may be useful include the length of the different segments of the antennae and the shape of the phallic frame. Taxonomy Some species that used to be included in this genus and which give birth by parthenogenesis to live young, have now been separated into the genus '' Archipsocopsis''. These include '' Archipsocopsis frater'' (Mockford, 1957) and '' Archipsocopsis parvula'' (Mockford, 1953). Some selected species * '' Archipsocus badonneli'' * '' Archipsocus brasilianus'' (Enderlein) * '' Archipsocus broadheadi'' (Badonnel) ...

Archipsocus Nomas
''Archipsocus nomas'' is a web-spinning barklouse, a psocid in the insect family Archipsocidae. It is found in the southeast of the United States, living gregariously on trees, feeding on lichen and fungi and spinning a web that adheres to the trunk and large branches in sheets. The webs are thought to protect the barklice from predators and neither the insects nor the webs cause damage to the trees. Distribution This barklouse is found near the Atlantic coast of the United States southwards from South Carolina and along the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas. Description Both adults and nymphs of ''A. nomas'' are soft-bodied insects resembling aphids, with long narrow antennae. The mandibles are designed for chewing and the central part of the maxilla is modified into a slender rod which is used to brace the psocid while it grinds away with its mandibles. The forehead is enlarged and there are prominent compound eyes and three ocelli. There are glands in the mouth from which si ...
