Way cool ...
the long slender pterostigma is a character of Camelopsocus. C. monticolis has been recorded in Arizona. I assume you have Mockford's book. Check and see if the hypandrium look like fig. 838. The termoinal end of the phallosome may be visible if so check Fig. 307.
I'll put it in Camelopsocus until I hear from you. There might be a very small hump on the dorsum of the abdomen.

No, I don't have Mockford's book
I only have BugGuide... :-)
Friday is the earliest I can check this creature.
It will be sent to University of Arizona (along with many other arthropods) for a DNA study. Hopefully, this project will provide an accurate ID.
Thank you Diane!

According to Mockford ...
Camelopsocus monticolous and Camelopsocus tucsonensis, both recorded from Arizona, are very closely related and similar in appearance. The males are distinguished by the shape of the hypandrium and phallosome. Love to find out more of the DNA work!
