Abstract

The bark louse genus Cycloperipsocus Li, 1993 is revised with redescription of type species C. pangi Li, 1993. C. diplocyclus Li, 2002 is regarded as a syn. nov. of C. plurimaculatus (Li, 1992). Taxonomic position of two Australian species C. edwardsi (New, 1973) and C. norfolkensis (Smithers & Thornton, 1974) is discussed. In addition, five new species, C. stictus sp. nov., C. grammacus sp. nov., C. hamatus sp. nov., C. rotundatus sp. nov. and C. albimaculatus sp. nov. are described. A distribution map and a key to the species of Cycloperipsocus recorded from Asia are provided.
