Abstract

Two new monotypic genera are described and illustrated, Edmockfordia for E. chiquibulensis sp.n. from the Chiquibul Forest Reserve, Belize, and Phallofractus for P. thailandensis sp.n. from Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. The former is close to Mesepipsocus, and the later is the sister group to the assemblage Goja-Rogojiella-Ianthorntonia.
