Hi, not even the genus can be named! these are impossible to determine without a specimen. Sorry

pwalter -- Separating genera other than Simulium is difficult. Genus Simulium can often be determined from photos. This shows short R cell, apparently absent basal M cell, white banded tibiae, marked scutum, and marked abdomen. In North America only a few subgenera of Simulium show that combination. |
