Abstract

Three new species of Cerobasis (Trogiidae) and three new species of Psyllipsocus (Psyllipsocidae) from Mexico are here described, which rises to seven the number of Mexican Cerobasis, and rises to nine the number of Mexican Psyllipsocus. Identification keys for the Mexican species of both genera are provided. The Mexican species of Trogiomorpha are thus known to consist of 46 species, of which 25 (54%) are endemic to this country. Lists of Cerobasis and Psyllipsocus species are presented, as well as a list of the known Mexican Trogiomorpha, including the distribution in this country of each species.
