Abstract

We report 20 species of Psocodea collected in Guadeloupe (Lesser Antilles) during August 2025. Ten are new to the department, and for the Lesser Antilles as a whole. Several species previously known from Guadeloupe are here confirmed with precise localities and GPS coordinates. Five species are recorded for the first time from Grande-Terre Island and four from Basse-Terre Island. With these additions, the checklist of Psocodea from Guadeloupe now comprises 29 species, significantly expanding current knowledge of the Caribbean fauna of this insect order.
