Asiopsocus sonorensis
Asiopsocus sonorensis is a species of barklouse in the family Asiopsocidae, described by Mockford and García-Aldrete in 1976. It represents one of the few documented species in this small family of Psocodea. The species has been recorded from both North America and Central America, with the specific epithet 'sonorensis' suggesting a type locality association with the Sonoran region. A 1991 publication in The Southwestern Naturalist provided a new distributional record, augmented morphological description, and notes on its reproductive biology, indicating continued scientific interest in this poorly known taxon.
Blastopsocus
common barklice
Blastopsocus is a genus of barklice in the family Psocidae, established by Roesler in 1943. The genus comprises nine described species distributed in the Americas, from the United States through Central America. These insects are small, winged or wingless psocids that inhabit bark and foliage environments. Species-level taxonomy has been refined through works by Mockford (2002) and other psocid specialists.
Rhyopsocus quercus
Rhyopsocus quercus is a species of psocid described by Mockford in 2016, belonging to the family Psoquillidae. The specific epithet 'quercus' suggests an association with oak (Quercus), though the nature of this relationship remains to be fully documented. As a member of the order Psocodea, this species is part of a group of small, often overlooked insects that occur in diverse terrestrial habitats.
