DICOPUS Enock, 1909 View in CoL View at ENA

( Figs 370–379 View FIGURE 370 View FIGURES 371–375 View FIGURES 376, 377 View FIGURES 378, 379 )

Dicopus Enock, 1909: 455 View in CoL . Type species: Dicopus minutissimus Enock, 1909 , by monotypy.

Kubja Subba Rao, 1984: 251 View in CoL . Type species: Kubja longipes Subba Rao, 1984 View in CoL , by monotypy. Synonymy by Huber, 2009: 235.

Diagnosis. Body length 220–415 μm. Antenna 7-segmented with fu 2 slightly shorter to or longer than fu 1 ( Figs 370 View FIGURE 370 , 375 View FIGURES 371–375 ); mandible when closed pointing ventrally ( Figs 370 View FIGURE 370 , 371–374 View FIGURES 371–375 ), with one short and one long tooth ( Fig. 371 View FIGURES 371–375 ); vertex posteriorly separated from occiput by a medially divided postorbital trabecula ( Figs 372–374 View FIGURES 371–375 ) (the latter showing trabecula partly unrolled); fore wing extremely narrow, the narrowest point about one venation length distal to venation, before distinctly widening to apex ( Fig. 379 View FIGURES 378, 379 ); hind wing also narrow for about 4 venation lengths beyond hamuli then becoming uniformly wider to apex ( Figs 370 View FIGURE 370 , 379 View FIGURES 378, 379 ).

Discussion. Dicopus belongs to the Alaptus group of genera, together with Alaptus , Callodicopus , Dicopomorpha , and Litus . It is most similar to Dicopomorpha in having the funicle 7-segmented and fore wing very narrow but with a distinct lobe behind the venation.

Nearctic hosts. Unknown. An extralimital host is Psocoptera: Liposcelididae .
