  ancient barklouse

  Archipsocus floridanus is a species of barklouse in the family Archipsocidae, first described by Mockford in 1953. It is one of several species in the genus Archipsocus, a group sometimes referred to as "ancient barklice" within the order Psocodea. The species has been recorded across a broad geographic range spanning North, Central, and South America. Like other members of its family, it is presumed to inhabit bark and lichen microhabitats, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
