Chaetoblaste n. gen.

Diagnosis. Medium-sized psocid. Assigned to Blastini by the continuous sclerotization of VIII and IX sternites. Characterized within the tribe by presence of setae on the forewing veins and by having a field of short spines on each postero-lateral area of the hypandrium. Differing from Chaetopsocidus Badonnel , also a genus of Blastini , by (A), the position of the forewing setae: over the membrane in Chaetopsocidus and on veins in Chaetoblaste (B), first section of Cu1a shorter than the second ( Chaetopsocidus ), (C), pterostigma in Chaetoblaste angled posteriorly, and smoothly rounded in Chaetopsocidus , and (D), anterior margin of paraprocts rounded in Chaetopsocidus and with a well developed handle in Chaetoblaste .

Etymology. The generic name means “ Blaste with setae”, in reference to the setae on the forewing veins of the only known species in the genus.
