Clinopsocus is a genus of barklice in the family Elipsocidae, first described by New in 1972. It belongs to the subfamily Pseudopsocinae within the diverse order Psocodea. The genus is known from Australia, with very few documented observations. Like other members of Elipsocidae, species in this genus are small, soft-bodied insects associated with bark and lichen habitats.
Clinopsocus nigrescens
Clinopsocus nigrescens is a species of barklouse in the family Elipsocidae, described by Mockford in 2018. It belongs to the order Psocodea, a group of small, often overlooked insects that includes both parasitic lice and free-living barklice and booklice. The genus Clinopsocus is classified within the subfamily Pseudopsocinae. As a recently described species, detailed biological information remains limited.
Cuneopalpus
damp barklice
Cuneopalpus is a genus of damp barklice in the family Elipsocidae, erected by French entomologist André Badonnel in 1943. The genus contains a single described species, Cuneopalpus cyanops, which was originally described as Eclipsocus cyanops in 1876 before being reclassified. Members of this genus are found across a broad geographic range spanning Europe, northern Asia, and North America.

The genus contains more than 20 described species distributed across Europe, North Africa, and parts of North America. These insects are small, soft-bodied psocopterans associated with moist habitats on bark and vegetation.
Elipsocus hyalinus
Elipsocus hyalinus is a species of barklouse in the family Elipsocidae, characterized by yellowish-black coloration. It is widely distributed across Europe, with additional records from North America, North Africa, and parts of Asia. The species feeds on diverse plant material including fruits, berries, and foliage of numerous tree and shrub species.
Elipsocus obscurus
Elipsocus obscurus is a species of damp barklouse in the family Elipsocidae, described by Mockford in 1980. It is distributed across Central America and North America, including the United States and Mexico. As a member of Psocodea, it belongs to a group of small, often overlooked insects commonly associated with moist habitats.
Propsocus pulchripennis
Propsocus pulchripennis is a species of damp barklouse in the family Elipsocidae. It has a remarkably broad cosmopolitan distribution spanning six continents, including Africa, Australia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. The species was originally described by Perkins in 1899 under the basionym Stenopsocus pulchripennis. As a member of the damp barklice, it inhabits moist microhabitats associated with bark and decaying wood.
Reuterella
damp barklice
Reuterella is a genus of damp barklice in the family Elipsocidae, established by Enderlein in 1903. The genus contains at least one described species, R. helvimacula. These insects belong to the order Psocodea, which includes barklice, booklice, and parasitic lice. Members of this genus are associated with moist microhabitats on bark surfaces.
