Abstract.  Previous classification of the insect order Psocoptera has relied on morphological characters. Psocoptera are generally divided into three suborders: Trogiomorpha, Troctomorpha, and Psocomorpha. Traditional classification divides the Psocomorpha into four infraorders (Homilopsocidea, Caeciliusetae, Psocetae and Epipsocetae), but a recent morphological cladistic study removed Archipsocidae from Homilopsocidea and Hemipsocidae from Psocetae. We investigated the phylogenetic…

Decolonizing Psocopteran Systematics: Holarctic Lineages Cannot Inform Diversity and Evolution in Tropics
TLDR
Leveraging the largest phylogeny of the Psocidae, this study pinpoints the downfalls of simply extending taxonomic knowledge from lineages of a certain area to inform diversity and evolution of lineages in other regions.
Phylogeny of the suborder Psocomorpha: congruence and incongruence between morphology and molecular data (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘Psocoptera’)
The largest suborder of bark lice (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘Psocoptera’) is Psocomorpha, which includes over 3600 described species. We estimated the phylogeny of this major group with family-level taxon…
Multiple origins of parasitism in lice: phylogenetic analysis of SSU rDNA indicates that the Phthiraptera and Psocoptera are not monophyletic
TLDR
The phylogenetic hypotheses inferred from SSU rDNA sequences suggest that the taxonomy of the Psocodea needs revision and there are implications for the evolution of parasitism in insects.
Morphology of male genitalia in lice and their relatives and phylogenetic implications
TLDR
This is the first study to provide morphological support for the polyphyly of lice and relatives based on morphological characters that are independent from the selective pressures of a parasitic lifestyle.
Molecular systematics of the suborder Trogiomorpha (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘Psocoptera’)
TLDR
A new classification scheme for the Trogiomorpha is proposed, based on sequence data and morphological observations, and character states previously used to diagnose Psocathropetae are shown to be plesiomorphic.
MORPHOLOGY OF PSOCOMORPHA (PSOCODEA: 'PSOCOPTERA')
TLDR
Adult integumental morphology of the suborder Psocomorpha (Psocodea: 'Psocoptera') was examined, and homologies and transformation series of characters throughout the sub order and PsocopterA were discussed.
New Psocoptera (Insecta) from the lowermost Eocene amber of olse, France
TLDR
The Eocene psocopteran fauna from the amber of Oise is shown to be very diverse, with 10 recorded families, 11 species and four new genera, including the oldest record of the family Archipsocidae and the first known insect species present in both the French and Baltic ambers.

A new species of the family Mesopsocidae (Insecta: Psocoptera) on ash trees from Iran
TLDR
The species Mesopsocus hiemalis Marikowskii (Psocoptera: Mesopsocidae) is recorded for the first time from Iran and is phenologically characterized by the particular development of its nymphs and adults in winter and egg-diapause in summer.

Phylogeny and classification of the Psocodea, with particular reference to the lice (Psocodea: Phthiraptera)
TLDR
All lice are believed to have evolved under environmental constraints similar to those operating today, and the origin of the lice is dated as the Cretaceous, but the host of the ancestor of the order is not identified.
Nuclear and mitochondrial genes contain similar phylogenetic signal for pigeons and doves (Aves: Columbiformes).
TLDR
The validity of this assumption in the pigeons and doves is tested by comparing phylogenies derived from nuclear (beta-fibrinogen intron 7) and mitochondrial (cytochrome b) genes, which revealed no significant incongruence between trees derived from the two genes.
Numerous gene rearrangements in the mitochondrial genome of the wallaby louse, Heterodoxus macropus (Phthiraptera).
TLDR
This work sequenced the entire mt genome of the wallaby louse, Heterodoxus macropus, which is 14,670 bp long and has the 37 genes typical of animals and some noncoding regions and the large number of gene rearrangements is unprecedented for an arthropod.
Dramatically elevated rate of mitochondrial substitution in lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera).
Increased rate of gene rearrangement in the mitochondrial genomes of three orders of hemipteroid insects.
TLDR
The mitochondrial (mt) genomes of most animals studied so far are circular, and have 13 protein-coding genes, but the arrangement of the large genes that encode proteins and rRNAs, is usually conserved in a phylum but varies substantially among phyla.
Disparate rates of molecular evolution in cospeciating hosts and parasites.
TLDR
DNA sequences for the gene encoding mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I in a group of rodents and their ectoparasites provide evidence for cospeciation and reveal different rates of molecular evolution in the hosts and their parasites.
Evolution, weighting, and phylogenetic utility of mitochondrial gene sequences and a compilation of conserved polymerase chain reaction primers
TLDR
Molecular processes are reviewed, the correction of genetic distances and the weighting of DNA data are discussed, and an assessment of the phylogenetic usefulness of specific mitochondrial genes is provided.

TLDR
The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.
Phylogeny and higher classification of suborder Psocomorpha (Insecta: Psocodea: 'Psocoptera')
TLDR
Based on the results of the cladistic analysis, a higher classification for Psocomorpha is proposed and six infraorders (two new − Archipsocetae, HemipsOCetae − and the four aforementioned) are recognized.
