Issidae larva for sure, and Issus coleoptratus ist the most frequent species. Unfortunately I have never seen any other species of the family... All the juvenile Issus coleoptratus specimens I met, however, had a white "tail", a waxy brush. Yours lack this feature, but the wax hairs tend to break off easily.

I think vaxy brush is there only shortly after it gets out of exuvia.
See my collection of nymphs, the measurements are pretty accurate.
