Abstract. A review of species of the genus Neopsocopsis Badonnel, 1936 is presented. Four species are redescribed, viz. Neopsocopsis hirticornis (Reuter, 1893), Neopsocopsis quinquedentata (Li & Yang, 1988), Neopsocopsis profunda (Li, 1995), and Neopsocopsis flavida (Li, 1989), as well as the description of one new species, Neopsocopsis convexa sp. n. Seven new synonymies are proposed as follows: Pentablaste obconica Li syn. n. and Pentablaste clavata Li syn. n. of Neopsocopsis hirticornis, Pentablaste tetraedrica Li syn. n. of Neopsocopsis longiptera, Neoblaste schizopetala Li syn. n. and Neoblaste flavae Li syn. n. of Neopsocopsis profunda, Blastopsocidus pini Li syn. n. and Pentablaste lanceolata Li syn. n. of Neopsocopsis flavida. Neopsocopsis hirticornis (Reuter, 1893) is recorded from Japan and China for the first time, and Neopsocopsis longiptera Vishnyakova, 1986 is newly recorded from China. Illustrated keys to adult males and females are presented.
