Myopsocidae is a family of mouse-like barklice, belonging to the infraorder Psocetae of the order Psocodea (formerly Psocoptera).[1] This family is closely related to Psocidae, with which it shares similar wing-venation, but from which it is distinguished by three-segmented tarsi.

There are about 8 genera and at least 180 described species in Myopsocidae.[2][3][4][5]
