I would expect this to be Ectopsocus sp. (E. petersi or E. briggsi).

I thought it was perhabs Trichopsocus sp., because of the long hairs on the thorax.. but Ectopsocus could have these also? Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

Hi Robert, I will have a look in my Psocoptera literature tonight. I have to admit though that I don't recall having seen those long hairs on the thorax in the Ectopsocus specimens I studied. Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

Hi Robert, Although it's a bit difficult to see in your pictures, it looks like the areola postica in the forewing is absent. That would mean it can't be a member of the family Trichopsocidae. Jan Willem van Zuijlen |
