Hello Raimo & Nikita,
Whether it is Liopiophila or Prochyliza is a matter of some debate. Rcenet work suggests it is a monophyletic genus. Ozerov 2004 places Liopiophila as a synonym of Prochyliza on account of the adult morphology. Martin-Vega et.al. 2014 studied the larvae of Liopiophila varipes and conclude that larval morphology supports the status of Liopiophila as a valid genus.
Rochefort 2016 uses both morphological and molecular evidence and keeps Liopiophila seperate, but synonimises, for example, Searibia with Prochyliza. https://www.seman...0291080ef3
Currently I'm describing a new Prochyliza and I'd like to have the original Ozerov 2004. I have the Entomological Review English version. Yet, I cant even make google translate access the page you so kindly provided Nikita. Would you be willing to send me the .pdf of Ozerov 2004?
Kind regards,
Ectemnius
