Just a small correction. Its Eumastacidae: Morabinae. Unusual colour form. 13? antennae segment

Thanks Roger. It's certainly a very different colour from the picture you sent which was all grey. I'm not sure where you start counting the segments at the base and they seem to run together a bit at the tip, but I think there are more than 13 segments. I think the third image gives the clearest view.
