Comments
Your first example of a potential C. punctatus should be a C.caeruleocinctus.
Brachyiulus are too similar and have an overlapping appearance. Automatic ID will not work.
C. latestriatus and truncorum are also too similar and can be divided without dissection only by counting anal valve setae.
Ophyiulus pilosus could also be Julus scandinavius.
Thanks for the tips! All makes sense to me.
As an aside I have iNaturalist set to show me Dutch common names alongside the English ones and they're pretty amusing: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echte_miljoenpoten
"wide squiggle", "stump squiggle", "little twostripe", "slender hookleg" if I understand them correctly.
thx, that is funny! We also have German names. But they are more serious. Well, not always.
