Resumo

Two genera of Epipsocidae, from Valle del Cauca, Colombia, are here defined, each based on a new species which are here described and illustrated; both genera have the hindwing vein M branched, and the forewing with supernumerary venation. Anastomopsocus n. g., is close to Mesepipsocus and Mesepipsocoides, while Periepipsocus n. g., is close to Epipsocus. An identification key to the genera of Epipsocidae present in Colombia is included. The types are deposited in the Entomology Museum, Universidad del Valle, Santiago de Cali, Colombia (MUSENUV).
