Wonderful beast !
However, I think it is Themira superba for these reasons : fore tarsomere 1 without projection dorsally, fore tarsomere 2 shorter than 3d, fore femur processes are matching more superba than malformans as their dorsal setae. The pruinosity of different parts of thorax and coxae match more T. superba too, although it is not always easy to evaluate on a picture.
