Limoniidae, subfamily Eriopterinae or perhaps Hexatominae. In habitus it has the shape of Helius, however I cannot see any ventral pseudopods. A detailed photo of the anal lobes will help. How many lobes and how is it pigmented is helpfull,.....

Thank You! Currently I can not use my microscope, so I can not say anything about its lobes.
