Voria ruralis(male) is the correct name? Thank you very much. Mucha František, Terchová, Slovak Republik

I can see why you think it is, because the m-cu looks steeply angled .. but it isn't angled enough - perhaps an effect of the lens or the angle of the shot. This also doesn't have any down-curved parafacial bristles. My money would be on a Macquartia

Hard to say that it is M.tessellum - please don't push an identification further than we can see  To me the excavation on T1+2 does not reach the posterior margin so I would say that it can't be M.tessellum.

I agree with Chris. It is a male Macquartia but it does not look like tessellum to me. Theo |

I would just say "Macquartia sp." - no more, no less That's as much as we can say, given what we can see
