No spur. Pseudochironomus also has a low leg ratio and widely spaced eyes.



From which guide did you get the picture?
Because to me it also looks like a scale with a spine but in the book, I use it explicitly lists in step 35 a black spur as a criterion for Pseudochironomus.
So that's why I'm a little bit confused.
