'''Psocoptera''' are an order of [[insect]]s that are commonly known as booklice or barklice.  They first appeared in the [[Permian]] era, 295-248 million years ago.  They are often regarded as the most primitive of the [[hemipteroid]]s.  Their name originates from the [[Greek language|Greek]] word ''psokos'' meaning [[wiktionary:gnawed|gnawed]] or [[wiktionary:rubbed|rubbed]] and ''ptera'' meaning [[wiktionary:wings|wings]].  There are more than 5.500 species in 41 families in 3 suborders. Many of these species have been described in recent years [http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2006f/zt01319p014.pdf].
