Hi,
In August 2013 I saw these nice Tephritids in Austria, Tyrol, Niederthai (1.500 m). Using the key by White 1988 (http://www.royens..._White.pdf) I arrived at Dithryca guttularis. Can my identification be confirmed?
Many thanks, Sundew

Thanks for wonderful pictures -- and -- yes, Dithryca guttularis, a rhyzome gall inducer on Achillea.
May I please ask you to submit the pictures to the DI Gallery?
