Official name...
Blastopsocus semistriatus (Walsh) 1862. Known from female only. This species may be parthenogenetic, but there could be males lurking out there. It would be really cool if you found some!

DR. Mockford says this is ...
Blastopsocus semistriatus, female. This species has a rather limited range (Illinois & Michigan). Nice find. You have added a new species to BugGuide!

Working on this one...
Wing venation looks like Hyalopsocus but the marking on the vertex does no seem right for H. striatus or H. floridanus. Do you have the specimen?
