No, the pteropleuron is the area above the katepisternum and under the place where the wings attach. There is usually a patch of long hairs and sometimes long bristles. In my keys
Fausta should have a strong pteroplueral bristle that points out and backwards :)
Pity about the genitalia ... it's very helpful to extract them in all tachinids ;)
