The Psocodea Species File is a taxonomic database that includes data for Psocoptera (bark lice) and Phthiraptera (parasitic lice). Data includes synonymies and citations for all recognized species. Parasitic lice are embedded within bark lice, and thus the single order Psocodea is recognized for both groups. The Psocodea Species File contains data from the scientific literature on Psocoptera and Phthiraptera. This classification is believed to be accurate through the end of 2022. Should you find the database has an error or any species missing under the current phylogeny, please use the email contact link below, describe what you believe to be in error/missing, and attach a pdf of the paper that supports your correction. Very few taxonomic histories of individual species are complete. Suggested additions to such histories are welcome; please use the contact link and attach a pdf of the paper to be added. Host associations and distribution data are incomplete.
