Calohilara

Calohilara is a genus of flies in the family Empididae. It was originally considered a subgenus of Hilaria, but raised to genus status due to morphological features such as "male eyes narrowly separated on the face with the enlarged anterior ommatidia, male and female wings with distinct dark markings and R2+3 strongly bent."[1]
