Pseudocaeciliidae is a family of Psocodea (formerly Psocoptera) belonging to the suborder Psocomorpha.[1] The name stems from a superficial resemblance to the distantly related family Caeciliusidae (formerly Caeciliidae). The family is closely related to the family Philotarsidae, both within the infraorder Philotarsetae.
