Trichoniscidae
Hi Tom,
Very probably
Hyloniscus
, most likely
Hyloniscus riparius
. If any chance, check to see if the eye is made up of one ocellus or three. Looks like one to me, but not enough detail. Colour also good for
Hyloniscus riparius
.
Size?
Cheers, Arp

Hopefully you can make out they eye good enough. I didn''t get a chance to measure it, but it was fairly small. I'd guess at around 4mm.

Hyloniscus riparius
Hi Tom,
Thanks for the extra image. To me that's clear enough ;o) If at all interested, you may compare
here
.
I'm having a bit of
déjà vu
here, so please refer to the comments with
image 371410
for arguments & disclaimer on the ID.
Cheers! Arp
P.S. The 4mm would indeed have been in the range that would have allowed for
Trichoniscus
and/or
Cordioniscus
to be candidates, but the eye rules those out. At 4mm this is either a male or a younger female, my money is on the the former. Full grown females reach up to 6-7mm which also makes them separable from the species mentioned (at 3-5mm max)
