Manicapsocidae

Manicapsocidae is a family of Psocodea (formerly Psocoptera).^[1] It contains 8 extant species in 4 genera, with most of the species being found in the Neotropics, with one species in the Afrotropics. The extinct family Electrentomidae has been suggested to be a synonym of this family, though this has been considered premature by other scholars in the absence of cladistic analysis.^[2] Confirmed fossil species of the family are nearly as numerous as living ones, extending back to the Mid-Cretaceous.
