Thanks! Glad I didn't spend time going through all the Psocoptera pics, since I wouldn't have found it. I'm afraid I don't have a specimen, so we'll have to settle for genus on this one.

Aaroniella sp. (Philotarsidae)
Ed Mockford det.
i quote his message, just received: "The psocid in the photo is
Aaroniella
sp. (Family Philotarsidae). There are 2 species in eastern North America north of the Gulf States, but from your photo--although it is a very good one--I can't tell which species it is. I suspect it is
A. badonneli
(Danks), a species first described from Georgia on the Black Sea coast, but widely distributed in southeastern US. It seems to show a tendency to spread northward during years with mild winters and get knocked back southward by a severe winter. The other possibility is
A. maculosa
(Aaron), but I think that species would look somewhat paler. If you have preserved a specimen, check the thoracic pleural region. If that region is solid dark brown, it is
maculosa
, but if it is kind of variegated in color, it is
badonneli
."
