Dorypteryx
cave barklice
Dorypteryx is a small genus of cave barklice in the family Psyllipsocidae, containing at least four described species. The genus has a notably wide geographic distribution spanning five biogeographic realms: West Palaearctic, Afrotropical, Australian, Nearctic, and Neotropical, with a 2009 discovery extending its range to China and the Oriental realm for the first time. Species occupy cave and domestic habitats. The genus was taxonomically revised by Lienhard in 1977, who synonymized the monotypic genus Dolopteryx with Dorypteryx.
