please add a photo of the head in dorsal view. In prosimulium the cephalic apotome is clearly widest before the posterior end, while in other genera it is widest near the posterior edge. The middle tooth of the mentum should also be trifid in prosimulium.

In North America larvae of Prosimulium can be separated from most others by antenna color, basal segments pale and last segment dark.
