Could someone help me identifying these Tephritid?
Perhaps a Myopites longirostris?

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I have checked through my unpublished key.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.
