  • Camelopsocus bactrianus

    Camelopsocus bactrianus is a species of barklouse described by Mockford in 1984. It belongs to the family Psocidae, a group of small, soft-bodied insects commonly found on vegetation, bark, and leaf litter. The genus Camelopsocus is part of the tribe Ptyctini, characterized by distinctive wing-rolling behavior and morphology. Very few observations of this species exist in public databases.

  • Camelopsocus hiemalis

    Camelopsocus hiemalis is a small, winter-active barklouse (order Psocodea, family Psocidae) described by Mockford in 1984. It belongs to a monobasic genus, meaning it is the sole species in Camelopsocus. The species is endemic to a restricted area of the Front Ranges in Colorado, USA, where it has been observed active during warm winter days. Its specific epithet 'hiemalis' (Latin for 'of winter') reflects this unusual seasonal activity pattern.

  • Loensia conspersa

    common barklouse

    Loensia conspersa is a species of barklouse in the family Psocidae, first described by Nathan Banks in 1903. It is one of approximately 62 documented observations on iNaturalist, indicating it is a documented but not extensively studied species. As a member of the Psocidae family, it belongs to a group of small, soft-bodied insects commonly known as barklice or booklice, though the specific ecological habits of this species remain poorly documented.
