Brachypterous or nymphal male psocid - Camelopsocus - Male
Norris Cabin area, Granite Mtns Desert Res. Ctr. (restricted access), San Bernardino County, California, USA
February 9, 2022
Size: 1.5-2.0 mm
Beat from shrub and collected. I need to get better photos, but I can clearly see an asymmetric hypandrium under the scope, but it is not well-sclerotized - perhaps teneral or one molt away from maturity? I again assumed this would be Camelopsocus, but I'm not sure...

Likely the male counterpart of this one I just posted:

Odd looking for an adult ...
Are ocelli present (nymphs lack ocelli)? If this is an adult male you might dissect out the phallosome and take a look. Interesting! Does appear to look like Camelopsocus.
