Liposcelis
Domestic Booklice, Booklice, Psocids
Liposcelis is a genus of approximately 126 species of minute insects commonly known as booklice or psocids. Many species are strongly associated with human habitation and are significant pests of stored products worldwide. They are particularly problematic in grain stores, museums, libraries, and food processing facilities where damp conditions prevail. The genus has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution, with species found across all continents. Liposcelis species are closely related to lice (order Phthiraptera) and share morphological similarities with them.
