Book Louse - Liposcelis

Book Louse - Liposcelis
Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma, USA
August 9, 2009
Size: 1mm (1/32")
This extremely small critter was found by a guy that works for me. There were quite a few of these in one of his books. He came and asked what it was and I had no idea. I caught a couple in a styrofoam cup, took them home, and took pics. Is this some sort of book louse ? To me it resembles Pseudorypteryx mexicana.
