Fantastic observation showing the larger female with the pair of males. I think this is Cerealcea scuttelata, it has 9 antennal segments, antenna much longer than breadth of head. Kirby describes the male here- https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/39677407 which seems to confirm, but the illustration differs- Plate 2 figs 15, https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/39677867

You're welcome Michael. Please note my spelling errors in the name have made it into your final identification. Should be Cerealces scutellata.
