Also the wrong genus.

Ty Valery, for the name.

You were mistaken not only in the genus, but even in the family ;). (Which in this case happens easily, don't worry.)

Hey Valery,
I know the species as Trypetoptera punctulata!
Is Tephritomyia a new one for this speciesor are you using an old name?
Greetings,
Gerard

sorry that was a typo, indeed, Trypetoptera punctulata. Mea culpa!

Tephritomyia is merely a mediterranean tephritid genus

I think I still need to meet a dipterist who did not fall into that trap...
