 I recall some advice, probably from one of Stephen Marshall's books: If you have an acalyptrate with a complete subcosta and no vibrissae and it doesn't look like anything else, check Lauxaniidae.

 I fully agree with John. The specimen in the lateral view is similar to Pseudolyciella and should have a big seta on anepisternum Wink.

 It looks as if I can see a surstylus (gonostylus) and that would mean P. stylata
