Abstract

Empherium rasnitsyni gen. et sp. nov. (Empheriidae) and Eolepinotus zherikhini sp. nov. (Trogiidae), two atropetan trogiomorphan psocids from two Siberian ambers sites, are characterized, described and illustrated. Their taxonomical assignations are discussed. Lists of all fossil empheriids and trogiids are given.
