Dear Valery, As a photographer I can tell you, that it's nearly impossible to take such a good picture of a hopeless small fly as C. absinthii. This fly looks to big for C. absinthii. I do have some experience with C. malaris, look here :Tephritidae and I still think it is. Maybe Keith has another picture, where the hind legs are visible Ben Edited by Ben Hamers on 19-06-2015 08:50 |

Ben, Valery, thanks. I found an article http://www.gemblo...7/1607.pdf which links C. malaris to S. erucifolius. Are there any visible characters to separate malaris from absinthii or is this down to genitalia? |

From the head to what appears to be the tip of the abdomen is a little over 4mm. Here is is best view I have of a hind leg. Keith Edkins attached the following image:  [94.86Kb] Edited by Keith Edkins on 19-06-2015 08:57 |

I've also got this which is a DIFFERENT SPECIMEN from the same location/date and same type of plant.

It concerns this row of hairs on the hind leg, which should be visible. Ben Ben Hamers attached the following image:  [37.86Kb] |

Thank you Ben, I was also thinking of C. solidaginis, as the colour of p npl is not clearly visible, but yes, I lost the very western C. malaris and possibly C. punctella from consideration.
