I'm now sure that...

this is not Indiopsocus texanus but the un-described Indiopsocus sp. # 1. The distinguishing feature ( I now know) is the large spot centered on vein M+Cu1. I have learned so much in the past few months. Psocidology can be humbling but we do progres!

Right Church

You've gotten us into the right church, I just can't seem to find the right pew :)

Metylophorus novaescotiae is the closest I've found on BG, but I don't see the "tip dot" on the FW or four distinct black dots on the top of the head. This bark louse has some very distinctive markings and should be easy to ID. I checked Tom Murray's site and found nothing to satisfy an ID. Thank you for your help.

Indiopsocus texanus (Aaron, 1886) (Psocidae)

Ed Mockford det.
his comment: "I noted in my book that the species is found throughout Florida and on the Gulf coast of Texas, and that it is probably continuous around the Gulf coast but there are no records. So now there is a record."

det.

What is 'det.' abbreviation for?

… Robert Lord Zimlich, 30 January, 2009 - 7:26am

Det

Det = determined. Read "identified by."

Thank You

Thank you for taking the time to ID. Even knowing the ID, I have not been able to find a single specimen on the internet. So, I uploaded my images to Zipcode Zoo

Maybe I should order Mockford's North American Psocoptera for $185.95 on Amazon!!

What a deal!

The Chironomidae(1) costs twice as much, and only covers one family.

… John F. Carr, 29 January, 2009 - 3:34pm

i don't think we have it yet in the guide

requires a pew of its own -- or a baptism, first
