Abstract Psocoptera collected from a range of vegetation types on 5 visits to Hinders and King Is in 1987–1988, and on a visit to Deal I. in April 1987 are listed. They are discussed in relation to the Psocoptera of Cape Otway and Wilson's Promontory, Victoria. 38 species were found on Flinders I., 24 on King I. and 10 on Deal I. Some species occurred mainly on particular vegetation types, and incidence and abundance of particular taxa differed throughout the year. Affinities of the Bass Strait Psocoptera are briefly discussed.
