Are you sure about the spelling of Amphipsochidae? A search produces no results. It looks like a tiny parasitic wasp.

No, not sure. I found it through the general csiro family key - http://anic.ento.csiro.au/insectfamilies/order_overview.aspx?OrderID=42512&PageID=overview

I don't think it is Psocoptera. The ovipositor makes it look like a parasitic wasp.

Cheers. I didn’t even notice the ovipositor. But, yeah mine was a pretty bad guess. Its antennae are too segmented as well.
