PSOCODEA: Epipsocetae (Psocodea: ‘Psocoptera’) from Valle del Cauca and NNP Gorgona Colombia
The results of a survey of the species of the Psocoptera infraorder Epipsocetae, in Valle del Cauca and National Natural Park (NNP) Gorgona are presented herewith. 84 species were identified, in 17 genera of Epipsocidae (42 species), Ptiloneuridae (30 species), Dolabellopsocidae (7 species), and Cladiopsocidae (5 species). 83.3% of the species found are new to science: 38 species of Epipsocidae, 23 species of Ptiloneuridae, five species of Dolabellopsocidae, and four species of Cladiopsocidae. An undescribed genus of Ptiloneuridae and two undescribed genera of Epipsocidae were found. The biological richness of Valle del Cauca-NNP Gorgona is enormous, if it is considered that they represent a little less than 2% of the total area of Colombia. The specimens studied are deposited in the Entomological Collection of the Universidad del Valle, Santiago de Cali, Colombia (MUSENUV).
