Ectopsocus vachoni female? - Ectopsocus - Female
Presidio, Dragonfly Creek, San Francisco County, California, USA
August 13, 2019
Size: FW length 2.5 mm
Caught in Malaise trap 10-17 August 2019, this species is noticeably smaller than the briggsi specimens. I have many female specimens but only one brachypterous male (not yet posted). I think the subgenital plate is a nice match to Mockford 1993, fig. 697?
