I think I can just about make out 2 setae on the katepisternum which would make it a Silba species - female Iain

Hello Iain,

Thank you for your reaction!
I think if this is the female, the other one (the first photo) may be the male..?

Regards,
Hedy

They both have quite a wide distance between the eyes so my guess is that they are both females
