Is it possible to confirm from this photo that it is Urophora cuspidata?

Unless I'm getting the wrong photo on my laptop awkward this appears to be Urophora sp maybe jaceana (female). [Tephritidae] According to Google search Sitticus pubescens is a Jumping Spider..I've zoomed in on this photo...can't find one of those...anywhere. Wink

Is it possible to tell if it is jaceana, cuspidate, or may-be neither?

Dear Alandy, it can be cuspidata, but I cannot tell with certainty that it is not U. solstitialis: the only characters are either the host plant or the very tip of the ovipositor (under high magnification). As the fore femur has a dark vitta, it is CERTAINLY NO jaceana.

Thank you very much, I think I will just have to settle for Urophora sp.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
