Photo taken in Oct 08 near a waterfall.
To which family it belongs?
Thanks!

I'd say Layxaniidae

Hmmm.... I know only palaearctic Lauxaniidae, but I think that marks of Lauxaniidae are not visible at this photo (crossed postoccipital setae, costa is not interrupted, dorsal apical tibial setae are present, peristomal setae absent).
