Cormopsocidae Explained

Cormopsocidae is an extinct family of Psocodea. All currently known members are from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber of Myanmar. The family is considered either to be the earliest diverging group of the suborder Trogiomorpha, or the sister group to all other psocids, and retains many primitive characteristics.
