I'm going to call this one ...
Blastopsocus lithinus based on range. This species is similar in appearance to B. semistriatus. If you had the specimen, I could tell for sure from differences in the subgenital plate.

What can you tell me about the "herd" of nymphs of this species that you witnessed. I'm burning with curiosity. Most Psocidae nymphs (except Cerastipsocus) don't hang around together.

Sorry, I should know this by now.
I know nothing about this but perhaps with some guidance you could tell me how to go about learning something more, assuming I find them again. At the least I should collect a couple for you.
