I have a male from N Thailand and female from S-W Cambodia.
Male t1 without setae; t2 - 1ad, 2 pd; t3 - 1av, 2ad, 1 long pd; frons with interfrontals, vein M slightly backcurved as in Gymnodia, sternite 1 setulose as in Gymnodia, scutellum with pale hairs on ventral surface.

I don't know nothing about Azian species.!!!
But Hyporites has the r4+5 narrowed towards M1 in Anthomyiidae (Hennig, known from Tibet)
Are you sure it is Anthomyiidae?
sc looks like Azelia.

Succes with this one.

Joke!
1. As for Azelia - no, it is not, I'm sure.
2. As for Anthomyiid - I had doubts too.
Due to strongly setulose sternite 1 and collection on cow dung I preliminary regarded the male as Gymnodia.
Due to the pattern of scutum I preliminary idetified the female as Anthomyia.
But examining the material not in field, but calmly in Moscow I found that male and female are conspecific and belongs to some strange genus of Anthomyiid.
3. Joke, check please, does Hennig mention setulose sternite 1 in Hyporites!

I send you a pdf.
It seems that there are no frontal orbitals and costa bare at first half...?

Thank you, Joke.
PDF hardly helped me :@
Yes, costa with short setae from bace to sc, somewhat longer distally sc.
Frons of male with 6 pairs of inclinate frontals in anterior part and small interfrontals.
Hope to know an opinion of Michael or Verner...

Michael Ackland kindly replied my request:
Calythea limnophorina (Stein, 1915)
I have to express my disagreement with Dr. Stein:
"Calythea gymnodina" seems to me much better name!

Calythea!
The present of only one pd and Fannia-like sc.....
Should have recognized it.
Problem solved now.
