Mockford says ...
This has to be T. alexanderae. The size of the eyes makes it a male, and T. alexanderae is the only member of its species complex that has males. Incidentally, it also shows the small spotting on the forewing characteristic of that species.

 
Thank you
Very interesting is there any material out there so that I can learn more about it?

 
Not much out there...
Mockford's book is quite technical - "North American Psocoptera" 1993. I have begun a book for the general entomophile on Psocoptera but it is only in the early stages.

This is Trichadenotecnum
alexanderae complex. I'll see if Dr. Mockford can get it to species.
