We describe a new genus, Troctopsocoides, in the family Troctopsocidae with two new species, T. erwini n. sp. (Madre de Dios, Peru) and T. gracilis n. sp., a fossil in amber from the Dominican Republic. We include a diagnosis of the family Troctopsocidae following a recent important change in its status and a key to the known genera of the family.
