Mockford (1982) pointed out the problems raised by inadequate definitions of some of the genera of the Myopsocidae. After examining the type specimen of Myopsocus unduosus Hagen he listed the species which should be included in Myopsocus (= Phlotodes Enderlein, = Rhaptoneura Enderlein) and Lichenomima Enderlein, leaving six species as incertae sedis which cannot be assigned until they have been re-examined. Some relevant, described species were, however, not mentioned. This short paper is an attempt to place as many of these as possible in their appropriate genera and is thus a supplement to Mockford's very useful paper. The species omitted by him are dealt with here in groups according to the history of their nomenclature.
