Specimen???
This could be a couple of different velvet mites... all of which are interesting. Would you be willing to ship me a specimen? I am a PhD student working on these for my research, and would be glad to pay for shipping. Especially useful are live specimens! If you are willing, please email me at jrfisher "at" uark "dot" edu. Of course, I would be able to give you a confident identification also.
