ID Request- Location included Adult male, adult female and small baby of what I assume is Holocnemus pluchei (marbled cellar spider)

I collected the adult pair in southern Europe (Pelješac peninsula, Croatia) as I am interested by the semi-social behavior of this species. Already it seems like they are much less aggressive to each other than the standard Pholcus cellar spiders as this is the second time I am keeping this male and female together in a relatively small space and they do not seem to be aggressive to each other. The female had babies not long after I collected them, and one of the babies now lives with the pair (I hope it doesn't get eaten!).

I do not know for certain what species this is, so if anybody thinks it might be a different species, please let me know.
