 Hello everyone!
I collected this larvae from a bromeliad (phytotelmata) in a cloud forest (aprox. 2000 meters above sea level) in Ecuador. Could someone please clarify if it is indeed a Thaumaleidae larvae? Maybe even the genus?
Thank you for your help!

 No picture, but I suspect Ceratopogonidae is more likely.

 I agree with Tony. This is no Thaumalaeidae, but a Ceratopogonidae, something like Forcipomyia or Atrichopogon or similar genera.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
