Nanopsocetae is one of two major divisions of Troctomorpha in the order Psocodea (formerly Psocoptera),[1][2] alongside Amphientometae. There are more than 20 families and 5,200 described species in Nanopsocetae.[3][4]

Taxonomy

The clade contains four major groups, Phthiraptera (lice), Liposcelididae, Pachytroctidae and Sphaeropsocidae.[4]
