Yes, Valery is right, if you accept the splitting of Palloptera into several genera, Temnosira saltuum should be the name to use. However these genera were based on chaetotactic characters which did not lead to natural groups (this text is copied from the English Diptera checklist :) ). Although I haven't made a thorough study on this subject, I tend to agree with this opinion. That was my reason for using Palloptera saltuum instead of Temnosira saltuum.
