Abstract

A review of species of the genus Neopsocopsis Badonnel, 1936 is presented. Four species are redescribed, viz. N. hirticornis (Reuter, 1893), N. quinquedentata (Li & Yang, 1988), N. profunda (Li, 1995), and N. flavida (Li, 1989), as well as the description of one new species, N. convexa sp. n. Seven new synonymies are proposed as follows: Pentablaste obconica Li syn. n. and P. clavata Li syn. n. of N. hirticornis, P. tetraedrica Li syn. n. of N. longiptera, Neoblaste schizopetala Li syn. n. and Nb. flavae Li syn. n. of N. profunda, Blastopsocidus pini Li syn. n. and P. lanceolata Li syn. n. of N. flavida. N. hirticornis (Reuter, 1893) is recorded from Japan and China for the first time, and N. longiptera Vishnyakova, 1986 is newly recorded from China. Illustrated keys to adult males and females are presented.
