Cecidomyidae, On the top photo you'll see a Y-shaped chitinized-plate on the left side, this the characteristic reduced head-capsule of this family. By the way, top photo is the ventral side:)

Hi,
Thanks a lot.
For the criterion.
And for the correction about mixing ventral and dorsal views :S
May I add that you forgot an 'i' in Cecidomyiidae.:D
