Myopsocidae Enderlein
This family currently comprises seven extant genera:
Myopsocus
Hagen, 1866
;
Lophopterygella
Enderlein, 1907
;
Lichenomima
Enderlein, 1910
;
Mouldsia
Smithers, 1978
;
Smithersia
Thornton, 1992
(=
Polygonomyus
Li, 2002
);
Thorntonodes
Lienhard, 2004
;
Nimbopsocus
Smithers, 2004
(
Lienhard, 2003
,
2004
;
Smithers, 2004
). Species of this family are widespread, but are usually associated with temperate or warm climates, and these are presumably compatible with the warm palaeoclimate of
the Dominican
amber forests.
