dagger Cormopsocidae: A new family of the suborder Trogiomorpha (Insecta: Psocodea) from Burmese amber

Cormopsocidae n. fam. of the psocid suborder Trogiomorpha was proposed for a fossil species from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber, Cormopsocus groehni n. gen. & n. sp. This family was estimated to be the sister group of all other trogiomorphan taxa, but the possibility of much deeper divergence (i.e. placement as a sister group of all Psocodea) could not be excluded. Cormopsocus groehni retains many plesiomorphic features, which will contribute greatly to elucidating the ancestral state of Psocodea.
