Yes, Arthrocnodax, that was my target species - I was collecting these galls to search for them, and actually was successful:
But these larvae look quite different (and are smaller), and I do not know whether later stages would transform so much but I am sceptical.
I mentioned the structure in the head because I was thinking of spatula sternalis as well - so maybe Arthrocnodax, maybe another Cecidomyiid, maybe s.th. different?
