Hemipsocus africanus
Hemipsocus africanus is a species of barklouse in the family Hemipsocidae, first described by Enderlein in 1907. It belongs to the order Psocodea, which encompasses both barklice and true lice. The species has been documented across a broad geographic range spanning sub-Saharan Africa, parts of Central America, and several island systems including the Krakatau Islands and Seychelles. Its wide distribution suggests either natural dispersal capabilities or human-mediated transport, though specific mechanisms remain undocumented.
