Could someone help me identifying these Tephritid?
Perhaps a Myopites longirostris?
The photo (author: Encarna Quijada) was made in Tarragona, Spain, on 26.9,2011.
Thanks

I have checked through my unpublished key. Looks to be
M. eximia Seguy; but it looks like
M. longirostris is merely a Central Mediterranean subspecies, and
M. eximiais a Western (Mt+Atlantic) subspecies. I do not have enough material to finalize the study I conducted in 1994 on
Myopites.
