Slightly larger than specimen 1; feathered antennae. Is there any difference between male and female?

All specimens that I have photographed so far have feathered antennae, the projections are very fine and often difficult to see.

For Oecophoridae generally, the males have hairy antennae and the females are much less structured. The hairs can be difficult to see when they are short or folded along the anmtennae.
