Thank you Paul. But now I have a minor problem with the Genus Campichoeta on commons: Fauna Europaea says "Campichoeta Meigen 1835" while other sources ( including Wikipedia) suggest Macquart as the author. Who is right?

Macquart is correct. See https://repositor...sAllowed=y, where Campichoetidae are treated as part of the Diastatidae.
