Hello, this Tephritidae is from july from the northern austrian alps. I think it is genus Tephritis. But then? In the gallery Tephritis leontodontis seems to fit best for me. What is it? Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [48.71Kb] Edited by Michael Becker on 15-11-2009 22:17 |

T. mariannae Merz, imho. Differences from other species of the leontodontis grup are difficult, and in some cases only 70-80% specimens can be determined with certainty without dissection and/or knowing its host plant.

Hello Valery, thank you for your detailed answer. I will label the picture T. mariannae. Do you think it is despite the uncertain identification suitable for the gallery? I can't say anything about the host plant, but on the photos the leaves of the plant, on which I found the fly, look like some kind of thistle leaves with spikes on the border.

Michael, I looked once again on your picture and found out one character, which I considered invisible on it, the color of the posterior notopleural seta. It is dark, so it is Tephritis conura Loew. This time certainly. Sorry for the mistake and rush.

Hi Valery, now that you say it - in the T. conura pictures in the gallery there are really some, which look the same, and which I must have overlooked the first time. Thank you very much for looking again and again to my picture. The Tephritis species sometimes seem rather tricky. Tephritis conura is for me a new species too. Greetings, Michael |
