Close, but I think it is a robber fly pupae, Asilidae. The terminal structures at the end of the pupae are normally tow spines, and also at the "head" below the antennal shaeth, it has a structure with 2-3 spines - this is not found in Therevidae, but in Asilidae...
Cheers

I apologize. I believe that he can be right Maddin and to be Asilidae. I have returned to watch nymphs of my collection and although she is very similar to those of a Antrax that I have, I believe that I have assumed small appendices at the end of the right head in the zone that hides the pin and now I think that really they are not has. Of another side the four inferior teeth of the cephalic crown are more spaced and the hairs of the abdomen they are shorter and the spikes differents. Yes, I believe that he is right Maddin.
