Medetera petrophiloides explained

Medetera petrophiloides is a species of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found in the Palearctic.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Medetera petrophiloides was treated as a junior synonym of Medetera petrophila by Grichanov (2002), but Negrobov (2010) gives arguments for retaining it as a valid species.^[4]
