Hi,
I have just talked to V.Podeniene and she said Dicranota larvae are very hardly told apart. Moreover, it is difficult to grow them, so generally there are no proper illustrations for identification of those three other species mentioned by you. I was told Ujvarosi is preparing a paper with some kind of molecular data, so maybe in the nearest future it will be possibe to discern Dicranota larvae by molecular markers and after that someone will make proper illustrations too :)
