   • 1993, Charles Leonard Hogue, Latin American Insects and Entomology, page 186:

     Psocids (New 1987) are free-living insects that feed on microflora and organic debris on surfaces of vegetation or on other surfaces. […] Psocids are frequently gregarious as nymphs or adults and may even group together under a communal web.

   • 2005, William H. Robinson, Urban Insects and Arachnids: A Handbook of Urban Entomology, page 367:

     The houe psocid, Liposcelis bostrychophilus, is a tropical species, but it occurs primarily in households in temperate regions.

   • 2008, John L. Capinera, editor, Encyclopedia of Entomology, volume 4, page 396:

     Nymphs and adults of psocids are regularly found in caves. Psyllipsocidae (in Europe the most common psocid in caves is Psyllipsocus ramburii) and Prionoglarididae are perhaps particularly characteristic of caves. […] In the case of psocids, it has been suggested that the Psyllipsocidae (an ancient group) may have survived by avoiding competition with more recent forms by inhabitibg caves or similar habitats.
