Thank you alot for the ID! But there are only two species of this genus known from Turkey according to the list by Koçak (2014)
M. apicatus
M.cypriacus

Using ONLY m and r4+5 as distinctive characters, for me it can be M. apicatus (veins are parallel, and don't converge)

Myopites is a genus difficult for identification, needing a revision and having no reliable keys by far.
It is hardly M. stylatus/limbardae (which is very common along Southern Balkan shores), which has entirely dirty-yellow mesonotum (I need a better picture), though it has a "washed" wing pattern. The other possible ID could be M. apicatus or M. inulaedyssentericae, both present in this region, but also poorly known.
