“…The family Liposcelididae contains the following living genera, traditionally classified into two subfamilies (Smithers 1972;Lienhard & Smithers 2002) Grimaldi & Engel 2005). Several Liposcelis species occur in nests of ants, birds, and mammals (Broadhead 1950;Rapp 1961;Wlodarczyk 1963;Mockford 1971;New 1972;Baz 1990;Lienhard 1990), and some have even been found in the fur and plumage of mammals and birds (Pearman 1960;Mockford 1967;Badonnel 1969).…”

Fossilized, winged adults belonging to the psocopteran family Liposcelididae are reported in amber from the mid-Cretaceous (ca 100 Myr) of Myanmar (described as Cretoscelis burmitica, gen. et sp. n.) and the Miocene (ca 20 Myr) of the Dominican Republic (Belaphopsocus dominicus sp. n.). Cretoscelis is an extinct sister group to all other Liposcelididae and the family is the free-living sister group to the true lice (order Phthiraptera, all of which are ectoparasites of birds and mammals). A phylogenetic hypothesis of relationships among genera of Liposcelididae, including fossils, reveals perfect correspondence between the chronology of fossils and cladistic rank of taxa. Lice and Liposcelididae minimally diverged 100 Myr, perhaps even in the earliest Cretaceous 145 Myr or earlier, in which case the hosts of lice would have been early mammals, early birds and possibly other feathered theropod dinosaurs, as well as haired pterosaurs.
