Archipsocopsis?
I'm just getting into barklice and I've only really identified with specimens on hand, but this looks more akin to the Archipsocopsis that I've seen.

Thanks
for the possible genus ID correction. According to Wikipedia "Some species that used to be included in genus Archipsocus and which give birth by parthenogenesis to live young, have now been separated into the genus Archipsocopsis." You could be right in the ID.

DR. Mockford says this is..
Archipsocus but he can't get it any further based on the images. These guys are tough even with the specimen in hand!
