Heard back from Mockford
You have not only added a species but a genus as well! Mockford says this is Cuneopalpus cyanops (Rostock). He says note the blue eyes.
Wow!

Thanks Diane! Let us know what Dr. Mockford has to say. BTW, also let me know if you're interested in getting California specimens - I can collect barklice for you if you want them...

OK, I'm going to stick my neck out ...
and make a guess. The wing venation looks like Reuterella helvimacula, however this specimen exhibits some differences from Fig. 270 in Mockford's book. This species is in the family Elipsocidae.

You post the most interesting critters!
I'm sending this post to Dr. Mockford for his opinion.
