This one was last week in Plan, Huesca, Pyrenees, NE Spain, in medium-mountain (about 1500 meters), prairies and mixed forest, in a flower of Daucus carota (exactly same flower of the Gymnosoma nitens that Jorge Mota Almeida posted some days ago). Size exactly as a Terellia and looks like one, but with marked wings and not in a thistle. Can be identified? Thanks, Regards

Hi, I think Urophora affinis is a good option, but you better wait for a second opinion.. Bye Jonas |

Sorry Jonas. This is, indeed, a Terellia (Cerajocera), and the most probably, T. "lappae" sensu Loew, Schiner, Hendel and Merz (also mentioned as "T. gynaecochroma Hering" in the World Catalogue). This species very probably has no available scientific name - though it is very well known. Larvae in Onopordum.

Thanks a lot again Valery. Until now I don't knew painted-winged Terellia. Please, can you take a look on this one? http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=13766 |

Isidro: 23 years ago, the species of Orellia, Cerajocera and Terellia were resorted a bit (Korneyev, 1985) compared to old good Hendel in Lindner (1927), that is the reason why...
