Hello, Is it possible to determine the species of this specimen from this sole photo ? Looks like Tephritis conura, but I don't know whenever there are other similar species or not...  Lentgh approx 7 mm. August 2003, Dijon (21), France Thanks ! Benoit Edited by Arthropa on 09-03-2007 23:25 Benoit MARTHA  |

Hello Benoit, I would hazard the guess of Campiglossa loewiana (used to be Paroxyna loewiana), but that species is smaller than 7 mm. Did you include the wings in the total length? Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

Yes, I did. But it's only an approximation, since I didn't measure the specimen, but determined the length from memory some time later.

Then I think my identification will not be far off.

Hi Benoit, May I congratulate you with a nice picture of a pretty rare tephritid. Inspite of the names suggested (Campigloss and Tephritis) it is a different genus: Acinia corniculata. A rare species all over Europe. One of those genera with only a few species and closely related to Campiglossa, therefore quite often mistaken for something else. Very nice indeed. John Smit |

Sorry, the differentiating characters are the clearly m-shaped wing-markings and the orange-brown colour of the body, thorax as well as the abdomen. You won't find any Campiglossa or Tephritis with orangebrown abdomen or thorax. The only genera with a more or less similar colour are Xyphosia or, though more yellow than orange, Oxyna, but these have a different wingpattern. John |
