The Psocoptera (Insecta) of Norfolk Island

Apart from brief mention by Hawkins (1943), who gives family or generic determinations only for a few specimens, nothing has been published on the Psocoptera of Norfolk Island. This paper deals with material collected at various times between 1967 and 1972, the work being part of a study of the psocopteran fauna ofthe islands of the Melanesian arc. Fourteen species are now known from the island, of which eleven are here described as new. Material was collected mainly by beating and it seems likely that a high proportion of the species obtainable by this method have been taken.
