Psoquilla infuscata Badonnel (Psocoptera: Psoquillidae) in the Western Hemisphere with description of the male and brachypterous form
نویسندگان
چکیده
Psoquilla infuscata Badonnel, previously known from a single locality in coastal West Africa, is recorded from southern Mexico, Belize, Panamá, Suriname, and Perú. The original description is based entirely on macropterous females, while our material includes brachypterous forms of both sexes as well as macropterous specimens. Augmented descriptions of adults of this species and its only congener, Psoquilla marginepunctata Hagen are presented. The synonymy of Heteropsocus dispar Verrill with P. marginepunctata is confirmed. We attempt to homologize the skeletal parts of the complex phallosome of the Psoquillidae and the subfamily Perientominae in the closely related family Lepidopsocidae.

Phylogenetic relationships among extant families in the suborder Trogiomorpha (Insecta: Psocodea: ‘Psocoptera’) were inferred from partial sequences of the nuclear 18S rDNA and Histone 3 and mitochondrial 16S rDNA genes. Analyses of these data produced trees that largely supported the traditional classification; however, monophyly of the infraorder Psocathropetae ( = Psyllipsocidae + Prionoglar...
