As the thoracic horns are equal my best guess would be closer to the pupa of Prionocera, but I cannot rule out some Limoniidae. I will check it tomorrow when I'm back at the lab. I should have all of them in my collection

So, your pre-linnean drawing must be a member of Ptychopteridae. The anal segment may differ in species, but the abdomen and long thoracic spiracles are unlike any other family I have ever seen. |

Some time ago I supplied Diptera.info with a picture of the pupa of Ptychoptera contaminata: https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=11225 and it had extremely unequal breathing tubules. contrary to that on the old picture.... very general entomologist |

Yes, I know that Ptychoptera pupa have unequal thoracic spiracles, but often they break. I agree that your pre-linnean drawing isn't an exact match with Ptychoptera but I cannot think of any other family. |
