Hey dipterists In a low stream river, amid deciduous trees, embryo masses the sample is still alive . There was a few Tipulidae, Empididae and some Chironomids Could they be Diptera embryo ? Nematocera? They have, capsul head, "eyes" spots and seem to have "hooks" or crochets I put here a few pictures Thanks for the attention         Negative  SDS Edited by solito de solis on 26-10-2015 19:53 |

The egg mass is reminiscent of some Ceratopogonidae.

If this is ceratopogonidae then it must be dasyhelea |

Do you mean that dasyhelea egg clutches are similar to those of Dixa nebulosa ? |

No. I'm not saying this. If the larva hatch and they appear to be ceratopogonidae, than this would be dasyhelea. I have no experience with eggs, except but my girlfriend😊 |

The larvae are not Ceratopogonidae, they are Dixidae. Other pictures here - http://www.dipter...d_id=69878 Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

in the sixth and seventh photo I can clearly see hooks, which Dixidae larvae do not have in their anal segment. |

Dasyhelea eggs are distinctive, bent into a semicircle, unlike the photo here showing a bent larva within a convex egg. http://bugguide.n...93/bgimage |

Surely the hooks in the photos are on the prolegs on abdominal segments 1 & 2? Typical Dixidae.
