Unknown Barklouse - Blastopsocus variabilis - male

Unknown Barklouse - Blastopsocus variabilis - Male
Montrose, Laurens County, Georgia, USA
September 22, 2011
Found on back porch wall in the late evening. At first, I thought this was just another Teliapsocus. However, the relatively short antennae and the rather smaller overall size made me more inclined to take a shot. As can be seen, it is different in the markings of body and wings, too. I couldn't match this visually with anything I saw in the Guide.....

Blastopsocus variabilis (Aaron), male --det. E.L. Mockford
"Color pattern of abdomen is diagnostic."

Moved from Barklice, Booklice, and Parasitic Lice.
