This Tephritid fly, about 2.5mm long, was swept from
Tanacetum vulgare at Bansko, Bulgaria on 3 Aug 2011. I think it is
Tephritis tanaceti but would be very grateful for confirmation from someone more experienced than I am that I have this identification correct.
Many thanks
Alan

Yes, you are right. However, the difference of
T. tanaceti and
T. dioscurea is so negligible that I consider them one species. This group has not been properly studied yet.
