Are 3386111 and 3386432 Psilosticha mactaria? The antennae look right for Psilosticha. The worn male is consistent with fresher set specimens, but one can't be certain. The female is plainer than most ANIC specimens. The undersides (it was good to have them) are close enough to ANIC specimens for the difference to be explained by wear and tear and photo effects.
