Psocoptera for sure, but the animal looks juvenile. There are short-winged or wingless species, but this one does not ring a bell to me. Have a look at the Swedish Psocoptera data bank https://artportal...16/3000179, perhaps you find something promising...

Can thiis one be Trogium pulsatorium or different species, which came to Europe from Vietnam?

The same, ventral view.

I don't think so. This is no wingless adult but a nymph with developing wings. It is something like this: https://diptera.i...d_id=70983, so maybe Ectopsocus.

Thank you. Unfortunately, no any wing among residues of 80 specimen. As for me, the nymph looks like Liposcelis with large eyes, rather than Ectopsocus. Can it be Liposcelidae?

Dear Igor, a lot is mixed up here. This is RamiP's thread, and I was answering the question about the Finnish Psocid. I thought that you also referred to it with additional pictures, but now I understand that you have a completely different question that should be in a separate thread! RamiP's animal might be an Ectopsocus, yours, of course, not.
As far as I know, Liposcelis has very small eyes, so it must be another genus. The pictures of Lepinotus (Trogiidae) and Belaphotroctes (Liposceliidae) in https://www.zobod...3-0081.pdf bear a certain resemblance, but I do not dare to say more - sorry!
Best wishes, Sundew
PS. For clarity, you should delete 6 of your 7 identical replies.

Thanks for interesting discussion.
Claudias proposal sounds good. The picture is taken on the dark day, and the color of the eyes could be serious blue. I know that we have at least one Ectopsocus, E. briggsi, but I have to consult our Psocoptera-expert.
