  • Anomopsocus

    Anomopsocus is a genus of barklice (Psocodea: Lachesillidae) established by Roesler in 1940. The genus contains at least two described species: Anomopsocus amabilis (Walsh, 1862) and Anomopsocus radiolosus (Roesler, 1940). These insects are small, winged psocopterans associated with bark and lichen habitats.
