Could someone help me identifying these Tephritid? The photo (author: Divina Aparicio) was made in Madrid, Spain, on 17.3.2011. Thanks Jordi Clavell attached the following image:  [99.54Kb] Edited by Jordi Clavell on 15-12-2012 07:04 |

It's possible to confirm that fly as T. pulchra? I see that over the vein RM, in cell r2 +3, there are two hyaline circles and not one as in T. carmen ... It's possible to distinguish between this two species?

Sure. T.pulchra (see the wing of the lectotype female) has two round hyaline spots in r2+3 in front of r-m; cell dm base with hyaline spot

These 2 spots are much smaller in T.pulchra males (see the paralectotype male wing), and the basal spot is usually wanted

whereas in the female of T. carmen (see the holotype female wing) the basal one is entirely absent (and the two marginal spots are narrower, separated by a narrow dark streak) cell dm base dark Nosferatumyia attached the following image:  [58.27Kb] Edited by Nosferatumyia on 15-12-2012 00:15 Val |

and the only spot is even smaller in the male paratype of T. carmen
