Heard back from Dr. Mockford
This is Trichadenotecnum castum, a parthenogenetic species described by Betz in 1983. Thanks for posting. Do keep those psocid images coming!

This is Trichadenotecnum
but I must consult Dr. Mockford for species ID. I find this genus difficult to ID to species, especially when I don't have the specimen at hand. Ed can probably identify it from these photos.

Nice! That would be a new Bug
Nice! That would be a new BugGuide genus for Oklahoma. I'm happy to send specimens to whomever may want them, as I don't maintain a collection.
