Psocoptera (Insecta) in Eocene Rovno Amber (Ukraine). Engel M. S., Perkovsky E. E. — A brief,
annotated checklist of the described barklouse (Paraneoptera, Psocodea, Psocoptera) fauna from Rovno
amber is provided. All species are also documented in the roughly contemporaneous Baltic amber fauna.
The fauna includes representatives of all three suborders and most major lineages of the Psocoptera,
including the interesting families Archipsocidae and Sphaeropsocidae.

The barklice (order Psocoptera), or booklice, are small, frequently overlooked
insects of the Paraneoptera (i. e., Acercaria, hemipteroid insects). The order is perhaps
most famous for having given rise to the ectoparasitic true lice, order Phthiraptera,
thereby rendering Psocoptera paraphyletic (Grimaldi, Engel, 2005). The barklouse
fauna will undoubtedly continue to grow as more material is excavated and studied.
Unlike the true lice, however, barklice have an extensive and well-documented fossil
record from the Late Paleozoic (admittedly, many of these species are stem-group
Acercaria, stem-group Psocodea, or stem-group Psocoptera rather than true
Psocoptera) through the Late Tertiary. The order is particularly well represented in fos-
siliferous resins of all ages and geographical regions (e. g., Grimaldi, Engel, 2005;
Weitschat, Wichard, 2002). Herein we provide records of barklice documented from
Rovno amber of the Ukraine. Specimens K-11 and KF-9 come from Klesov, the
remaining specimens originate from either Klesov or Dubrovitsa (Perkovsky et al.,
2003). All specimens are kept in the Amber Collection of the Schmalhausen Institute
of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kyiv, SIZK). Each of
these species also occurs in the more intensively studied and collected Baltic amber.
The names Copostigma affinis (Hagen), Epipsocus ciliatus (Hagen), and Caecilius
prometheus Enderlein are still in common use by modern palaeoentomologists interest-

ed in Baltic amber. However, each of these names has nomenclatural problems (e. g.,
C. affinis and E. ciliatus) or has been transferred to different genera by psocopteran
neontologists (e. g., C. prometheus). Rather than employ the name in common usage
by amber researchers we have adopted the nomenclaturally valid name (e. g., Lienhard,
Smithers, 2002). It is hoped that by specifically mentioning these changes here they will
be followed by palaeoentomologists in the future.
ORDER PSOCOPTERA
Suborder PSOCOMORPHA

Family CAECILIUSIDAE
Valenzuela prometheus (Enderlein) (fig. 1)
Caecilius prometheus Enderlein, 1911: 318;
Valenzuela prometheus (Enderlein): Mockford, 2001: 83.
Ma t e r i a l. SIZK: KF-9, Klesov, Rovno amber, Eocene.
Commen t s. Valenzuela is distributed throughout the world and, with 300 named
species, is presently the most species-rich genus in the order Psocoptera.

mented in the genus.

Commen t s. Archipsocus is a fascinating genus of enigmatic barklice notable for
their communal behavior, the only such societies documented within the Psocoptera.
The genus, consisting of 81 named species, is of cosmopolitan distribution except the
Western Palaearctic where the genus is documented only as fossils. The family is some-
times placed in its own infraorder, Archipsocetae.

of females, among other traits. The family is also documented in Late Cenomanian
amber from Agapa (History…, 2002), and in Campanian amber from Canada and
Neocomian amber from Lebanon (Grimaldi, Engel, 2005, in review).
In Rovno amber S. kuenowii is known from both Klesov [syninclusions of K-1039
