Apoecilus?
Not sure these are actually P. mac. The fact that they're mating makes it tough to see whether that black streak is there or not, but the spines aren't quite right either. Wonder if these are actually Apoecilus.

I moved it
to be safe. I checked the other photos, those of individuals, but I can't be sure they were the same ones as later mated. Besides, I don't think they show any more detail.

Sounds good.
Hopefully someone else can come along and either correct or confirm my thoughts.
