Hello dipterists a very tiny larva about 1mm max found in brackish water in Alentejo/Portugal IT seems to me Chaoboridae larva But the head profile seen from abov is wider than common Chaoboridae larvae COuld it be because of the juvenile stage of the larva ? The head is not crushed by the coverglass !!! No siphon, then no Mochlonyx sp.     what's your feeling ? Merci beaucoup Solito de SOlis |

a juvenile Chaoborus indeed, probably freshly moulted |
