Genus Dicopomorpha Ogloblin View in CoL View at ENA ( Figs. 92–98 View FIGURES 92–98 )

Dicopomorpha Ogloblin, 1955: 387 View in CoL . Type species: Dicopomorpha macrocephala Ogloblin View in CoL , by original designation.

Chromodicopus Ogoblin, 1955: 390 . Type species: Chromodicopus pulchricornis Ogloblin , by original designation. Synonymy by Yoshimoto (1990: 27).

Dicopulus Ogoblin, 1955: 377 . Type species: Dicopulus stramineus Ogloblin , by original designation. Synonymy by Yoshimoto (1990: 27).

Diagnosis. Dicopomorpha belongs to the Alaptus group of genera. It is distinguished from other genera in the group as follows: funicle 7-segmented ( Fig. 97 View FIGURES 92–98 ), mandibles crossing each other medially (not ventrally directed), with 2 teeth; fore wing relatively narrow, with posterior margin slightly curved towards apex but relatively straight medially ( Fig. 92 View FIGURES 92–98 ). Fore leg as in Fig. 98 View FIGURES 92–98 . Male flagellum 9-segmented ( Fig. 93 View FIGURES 92–98 ) and genitalia as in Figs. 94 and 96 View FIGURES 92–98 .

Dicopomorpha is distinguished from Dicopus by the genae, in face view, much less convergent (strongly narrowing in Dicopus ), and the mandibles crossing each other and with two equal-sized teeth (projecting ventrally and with one tooth smaller than other tooth in Dicopus ).

Body length. 228–425 µm.

Distribution. Worldwide, except western Palaearctic.

Hosts. Unknown for Australian species. Elsewhere reported from Psocoptera.

Important reference. Noyes & Valentine (1989).
