Thanks Benoit!

Could you check the underside of femur one? If there is a row (aprox 4)of strong yet short bristles, it is N. setosulus. If they are not there we can start again : )

I just watched the femur 1, there has presence of four bristles,
confirming N. setosulus male.

Thank you to you Quaedfliegh!!
