Ed Mockford det.
his comment: "large-eyed male form of Valenzuela flavidus (called Caecilius flavidus in my book). In the Smoky Mountains there are two forms -- this one and a small-eyed male. I have seen hundreds of specimens and find no intermediates, so they may be distinct species, but there is a problem in separating females."

so, Scott -- you've made a nice call, and won!

nice detail --
the Psocoptera section is frequented by an expert who seems to be very good at IDing these guys. I suggest moving your pics there. [I enjoyed them, thnx]
