So, I checked the literature.
Given what we know of the biology, there are two likely candidates:

Myxexoristops
Bessa selecta.

Bessa probably lays its eggs on the host. Moreover, the picture definitely does not agree with Bessa.

So, I return to my gut feeling: Myxexoristops blondeli.
Maybe the point of view is misleading, as far as the humeral bristles are concerned.
