Isopods of Sarawak - part 1

I found 2 species of Isopods at the foothill of a basalt mountain of Sarawak. First species is brownish colour & body is about 0.6cm long & second species is greyish coloured & body is 1.2cm long. They are found at different side of the river & I did not found them together, maybe I haven't check their habitat in more detail.
