I found this larva on a mudflat of the Rupel, a freshwater tidal river in Belgium. Could it be a Fanniidae-species? Best regards, Jan Edited by Jaso on 10-07-2008 10:55 |

hardly we can say anything with this image. try to get a good close-up at posterior part. And the marginals of segments too. |

I went trough some more literature (Smith) and now I know quite sure that it must be Dohrniphora cornuta an alien species! Larvae are found in sewage, compost, dead insects and snails. This time in a (polluted) estuary accompanied by loads of Tubificid oligochaets and Psychodidae. Jan |
