Abstract
ABSTRACT The cave barklouse Psocathropos lachlani Ribaga, 1899 (Psocodea: Psyllipsocidae) occurs in many tropical and subtropical areas of the world, where it is a frequent dweller inside buildings. Numerous specimens of an egg parasitoid Dicopus psyche Girault, 1912 (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) were collected by yellow pan traps and commercial cockroach sticky traps inside houses infested with P. lachlani in two urban localities in Taiwan. This apparent association with P. lachlani is the third known host record for the genus Dicopus Enock, 1909, which is newly recorded from Taiwan. Taxonomic notes and digital images are provided for the holotype male of D. psyche from Fiji as well as for its both sexes based on specimens from Taiwan. Dicopus longipes (Subba Rao, 1984), syn. nov., originally described as Kubja longipes Subba Rao and known from Cambodia, India and Malaysia, is synonymised with D. psyche.
期刊介绍：
Oriental Insects is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of original research articles and reviews on the taxonomy, ecology, biodiversity and evolution of insects and other land arthropods of the Old World and Australia. Manuscripts referring to Africa, Australia and Oceania are highly welcomed. Research papers covering the study of behaviour, conservation, forensic and medical entomology, urban entomology and pest control are encouraged, provided that the research has relevance to Old World or Australian entomofauna. Precedence will be given to more general manuscripts (e.g. revisions of higher taxa, papers with combined methodologies or referring to larger geographic units). Descriptive manuscripts should refer to more than a single species and contain more general results or discussion (e.g. determination keys, biological or ecological data etc.). Laboratory works without zoogeographic or taxonomic reference to the scope of the journal will not be accepted.
