Ceratophysella pratorum
Given 1. the long curved anal spines, and 2. the anal spines are placed on stout papillae, making the spines look even longer.

Species ID
If it can be identified to species, that would be the first Ceratophysella to go to species for the guide.

Ceratophysella
definitely. The very long anal spines should give a clue to the species. But I need more time to figure it out...
