It might be Machimus but, at least the first male, I am inclined to think it is Neoepitriptus inconstans... I would need to see more details to be sure.

Strange! I think I can see a set of strong bristles on the underside of fore femora in the case of the female (which would be consistent with Neoepitriptus), but nothing like that in the male of the couple, despite a more-or-less appropriate angle of view :-o
