The relative sizes and arrangement of the dorsal posterior processes and the number of marks on the subspiracular plates match the drawing of Nephrotoma in Smith's "Introduction to the immature stages of British flies" (Fig.14) - this drawing was taken from one of Brindle's papers, but I'm not sure which one. It was a suggestion only - I'm no expert on tipulid larvae!
