In Vienna, in a Phragmites australis gall, induced by the chloropid Lipara lucens.
Are these the pupae of that species or s.th. else?

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

I am a bit more cautious and say Lipara sp. (but if thay come from the photographed gall, they should be lucens). Besides, some other chloropids can be reared from Phragmites (long ago I reared some), but these are much smaller.

I think these are from an inquiline. Perhaps a Cryptonevra or Calamoncosis sp.

Ok, thanks so far. Let's hope they will hatch.
As for the gall itself, I am pretty sure it is Lipara lucens, as the other reed-inhabiting Lipara species seem to induce rather different galls

After hatching of the adults, they could be IDed as Cryptonevra flavitarsis
