Gary sent me this specimen
I dissected it and made a permanent slide. Yes, the 2 apical processes of the subgenital plate curve inward - that makes it briggsi. I could not have made the ID from the image alone.

This one is Ectopsocus..
but I would not dare guess without seeing the specimen; even then I might have to send it to Mockford.
