Epipsocidae is a family of Psocoptera belonging to the suborder Psocomorpha, that includes, among others, the genera Epipsocus, Epipsocopsis, and the New Guinean endemic Dicropsocus. The only European species in the family is the (almost always) apterous Bertkauia lucifuga. Like the other members of the infra-order Epipsocetae, Epipsocidae have a labrum with two sclerotized ridges.
