Hi It could be very confused to base the determination of a larva only by the pictures or by few features. The determination is also greatly dependent on the land area where it is detected and observed. I have had many difficulties to determine this larva as there is a light possible confusion in the litterature  Spiracular libes and anal region first source : Theowald 1967 second source: Lantsov,_1999b Tipulidae in Tsalolikhin and as the setae position were in the same place as defined by Smith reference, Then I propose Tipula obscuriventris to give this larva a name the difference is in the fact that Tipula saginata is only found in Alpine regions and in North of Italy... In the video, please pay attention to the two larvae, there is one bigger than the other In this bigger habitus, there is a surprise ... I will explain and elaborate more fully in a later post These larvae were respectively 40 et 55 mm length and collected in a freshwater river in Haute Ardenne, Belgium YouTube Video Thanks for watching and for your comments head from right side  Anal lobes  SDS Edited by Izmi Gigavista on 21-09-2015 18:12 |
