Hello,
This Portuguese Microcoryphia have no scales on the antennae, so it's a Meinertellidae.
This family includes only two genera in Europe Machiloides (Spanish side of the Pyrénées, with another aspect) and Machilinus, like this one.

In Portugal the genus includes four species:
Machilinus gredosi Bach 1971
Machilinus helicopalpus Janetschek 1954
Machilinus rosaliae Mendes 1977
Machilinus rupestris gallicus Bitsch 1968 (Different drawing and eyes of another color)

So Machilinus sp.
