Other Dixella is possible, but D. filicornis is relatively more hairy than other species and also it has a characteristic basal plate (see picture below taken from Disney 1999) or photogalery (http://www.dipter...to_id=5496). It is very hard to discerne these characteristics. Could you tell me were it was collected? atylotus attached the following image:  [26.83Kb] Edited by atylotus on 05-07-2016 10:04 |

Thank you for your reply. I found this larva in a small pond near the forest at Saint-Michel-en-Thiérache in northern France. |
