Overview
Archipsocus is a genus of bark lice in the insect family Archipsocidae. Members of this genus are found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world and were first reported in North America in 1934 when Archipsocus nomas became abundant near New Orleans.
Psocids in the genus Archipsocus differ from each other on minute particulars and there is not a single feature that can be used to diagnose all the species. Some characteristics that may be useful include the length of the different segments of the antennae and the shape of the phallic frame.
