I believe this might be Urophora. Taken in the same thistles of the Tephritid of my previous thread. Thanks in advance for any confirmation or species ID! This is a dorsal view of the female: Piluca_Alvarez attached the following image:  [132.41Kb] Edited by Piluca_Alvarez on 16-06-2011 22:16 |

Saeed is right, and the thistle is apparently Carthamus, normal host for East Mediterranean luteola, too.
