At first I thought it was Vorticeros but no antennae are present and these a a bit larger and also have eyes. Interesting how these are so similarly coloured to Vorticeros.

claramatosDescription
Creio que são da mesma espécie que os adultos, já que estão aos montes no mesmo pé (abacateiro). A saída das larvas deixa uma espécie de esponja dentro das folhas. O adulto é um pouco menor do que as larvas. Ambos (adulto e larva) são predados por aranhas menores que as saltadoras que conseguem furar as folhas.

Thanks Sean
"Cool! Looks like possibly a male Exechesops, an anthribid you’re right. This species is sexually dimorphic - males have “eyestalks” that they use in sexual competition, similar to stalk eyed flies.

At first, thought it's a lacewing larva but saw the pink antenna... or stegosaurus look alike.
Update: Thanks Marcus, KS Tan and Sean
