Graphically analyses the chronological discovery of species diversity. A synoptic table presents classification down to genus level with numbers of known species per taxon for each main biogeographical region of the world. Unusually also cites almost all other known references pertaining to their geographical distribution, morphology, biology, ecology, etc. Proposes several new names, synonymies, combinations, and status designations."

Psocopteres euro-meditarraneens Faune de France 3
By Charles Lienhard
Museum d'histoire naaturelle de Geneve (Suisse), 1998
If you are really interested in "Psocoptera" this book is very useful. Even though it is in French, the illustrations are extremely good and very helpful with difficult identifications. I could not function without it.
