If I look at it without long terminal bristles I would say Trichoceridae. Segments are rather indistinct. In soil, pine forest (Pinus sibirica) in Far East.
Head capsule is typical for Trichoceridae.
I have publications with descriptions and figures of Trichocera larvae only.
I suppose there are some more genera known.

Dear Cranefly
I think you´re right in suggesting that it is a Trichoceridae, although the anal lobes seems very strange for a terrestrial larva, and also for the known species in western Europe. The head capsule is complete and looking at the habitus, it is not resembling any Limoniidae I know of, although Dactylolabis show some resemblance (I have only drawings). I cannot see if the headcapsule is retractable. The only other remaining possibility seems Anisopodidae, but these look thinner. Sorry, but I don´t know that much about terrestrail fauna of the Far East, so maby yet another family?

Many thanks for your message. Trichoceridae is most likely.Cool
