Nice photo but this is going to be tricky - I don't think the female's undusted parafrontal reaches the base of the antennae and we can't see the dusting on the male's thorax ... so I'm not going to offer a name beyond Gymnosoma sp. on this pair :) They lack strong vibrissae but I am not sure how significant this might be.

The vibrissa is not really lacking.

Whatever it is, nudifrons it is not ....
