hi other insectsforum,

I was wondering what kind of psocoptera this is..?
Perhabs it is a Valenzuela sp.?

Looks like this pscocoptera is quite fresh and new.., so there is no obvious patterns to see?
size ~4mm
place: Amsterdam forest

You're right - too teneral for any marking to have developed. It is certainly not "Valenzuela" (a synonymof Caecilius). The venation is all wrong.

Thank you for your reaction Phil.

I was mislead by it's coloring (to say it Valenzuela).

veination very similar with some genera in de family Psocidae, subfamily Psocinae: most close to Loensia and Trichadenotecnum.
Difficult to go further without colouration.
