Abstract
Fossil Psocoptera belonging to the family Empheriidae preserved in the Cretaceous amber of Alava, northern Spain, comprise three new species belonging to two new genera. These are described and illustrated as Empheropsocus arilloi gen. et sp. nov., Empheropsocus margineglabrus sp. nov. and Preempheria antiqua gen. et sp. nov. The relationships between Cretaceous and Oligocene (Baltic amber) Empheriidae are discussed. Diagnostic characters for the family Empheriidae are provided and compared with those of the most closely related families within the Atropetae. A key for the identification of the species of Empheriidae is included.
