from Ed Mockford: "The small head and shallow pterostigma indicate that this is probably a species of Camelopsocus. The male would have a slight hump on the abdomen near its base, but that cannot be seen on the photo. The specimen is probably not as gloomy as the photo indicates."

[it was me who called it gloomy in my request. we need more of these, Arlo! =v=

Moved from Barklice, Booklice, and Parasitic Lice.

 
Dr Mockford's followup:
"The ventral surface of the tip of the abdomen definitely identifies it as Camelopsocus. The dark line leading leftward from under the hypandrium is the phallic apodeme. This long apodeme is diagnostic of Camelopsocus. I suspect that the species may be new. I would really like to get my hands on a specimen!"

 
Sending...
once Dr M lets me know whither.
