These two specimens are both in poor condition and lack sufficient characters for safe
generic determination. They both belong to the compound genus
Allodiopsis
Tuomikoski
,
1966 as defined by
Tuomikoski (1966)
where all four subgenera later have been raised to
generic level (
Matile 1987
,
Söli et al. 2000
). They are both devoid of scutal bristles. Their
wing venations are slightly different, indicating two species. The first is most likely a
Syn
plasta
Skuse, 1890 while the latter has three proepisternal setae and most likely refers to
an
Allodiopsis
s. str.
Neither is likely to be associated with
Myriosa maculosa
(Meigen,
1818) nor with
Notolopha
