Voria ruralis(male) is the correct name? Thank you very much.

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 :)

I decided to Macquartia tessellum (male).
Chris thank you for your help in identifying.

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 edited the Macquartia cf. tessellum. Chris thank you very much for your help in identifying.

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

cf. Macquartia is correctly named?

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