Taxonomic Decision for Synonymy
- Smithers, C.N. 1964. The Myopsocidae of Australia. Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society of London (B) 33(7–8): 133-138 9 figs [133] (followed a suggestion by Pearman, in lit., that as clear distinctions could not be made between Lichenomima, Phlotodes Enderlein, 1910 and Rhaptoneura Enderlein, 1910 on the basis of published information, species in these genera should be placed in Myopsocus Hagen, 1866 (sensu lato) until further studies could be undertaken)
