Hi, found these two flies sitting on thistles in a dry area near a lake. After searching the gallery I guess they could be Urophora stylata male and female? Would be glad of help/confirmation. Hamburg, Germany, 06.06.2009 Thanks! Renate attached the following image:  [94.02Kb] |

Wonderful pix. The second is a female of U. stylata. The first fly, the male, looks to be rather similar to U. affinis and could be that species, unless local population of T. stylata includes some percentage of such a phene fith separated apical and subapical crossbands (so far I have not oberved such stylata!). Unfortunately, males are poorly recognizeable.
