Hey dipterists

I found yesterday collecting freshwater in a little river ( I know the biotic indice high-here the value could be 18/20)
a 12 mm Limoniidae larva
I first saw the specific morphology of the spiracle and presence of anal papillae ?

dorsal view of the end of the larva

I have made pictures about this organism and I will put the photos and a video of alive specimen within a few hours

I would be glad to go further in the determination to sp ? or ochracea ? or another one ?
If you can help...

on the last segment I can see 4 anal lobes (gills?)


thank you
