27.XII.2016, Bali, Buleleng, Sukasada, Gitgit Waterfall, 570m a.s.l., on rotting jackfruit. Elsewhere also near freshly cut trees, etc. (but rather not on bamboos like its relatives in Thailand or Vietnam), rather common. Size quite variable, in males from 6 to 11mm.

In fact, both are males, which is clearly visible in the second photo.
The first looks to be Themara hirtipes (Rondani), and the second apparently Acanthonevra dunlopi (Wulp) (however, most key characters are poorly visible)

Many thanks Valery - sorry for messing it up a bit - in most recent paper known to me (Hancock, 2011, Australian Entomologist, 38(3): 109-128) dunlopi is listed under Rioxoptilona Hendel.
