Abstract
Reticulopsocus besucheti gen. n., sp. n. is described and illustrated from a series of specimens of both sexes collected under stones in southern Turkey. The new genus is closely related to the Mediterranean genera Chelyopsocus Lienhard and Philedaphia Lienhard. Some illustrations of the type genus of the family, Protroctopsocus Mockford, are also provided. Both sexes of the new genus are elytropterous and beetle-like in habitus but the fore wing venation is strongly sexually dimorphic: males have a normal venation, though somewhat simplified, females however, have a highly apomorphic, reticulate venational pattern. A key to the genera of the family Protroctopsocidae is provided.
