I found this Stratiomyidae larvae (Rajolins river, Beuda, Girona, Spain, UTM31T DG7477, 380 m., 5-5-2012) about 10 mm long with a characteristic "X" pattern on the dorsum. Is it a diagnostic of a few genera?? It looks like Odontomyia. This place was very near the first spanish locality for Lasiopa tsacasi.

Looks as a typical Oxycera sp.
elongated prothoracic spiracles, posterior spiracular opening with ventral emargination.
I'm sorry, but I do not know the larvae of Lasiopa
definitely not Odontomyia or Stratiomys or any other aquatic stratiomyd stage.
edit: I just found out that the larva of Lasiopa villosa resembles Nemoteles, so......

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
