Hi! I'm in the middle of this dilemma.
I have this specimen (from Catalonia, before 1940) that has all the appearance of a Tephritidae but Sc is not at 90° and the cell cup is not closed in an acute apical end (CuA2 is not geniculate).
On the other hand I thought it might be Platystomatidae, but the wing pattern is... I do not know, is a bit suspect.
Can anyone throw me a rope?:o

It's Tephritidae, Urophora sp.

Said Thanks!
If you follow the key and only you look at those characteristics I mentioned, I had not come to determine the material, I have no experience with this group.

Hello again Saeed and colleagues.
I've looked better this specimen and compared with other known species of the Iberian Peninsula and it seems Urophora cuadrifasciata, for the dark color of their femurs.
Can anyone confirm it? b:|

Sorry, Mesonotal scutum in U. quadrifasciata is shining black but in this specimen is covered with gray microtrichia,
this specimen doesn't match with other known species, wing pattern look likes U. variabilis except fusing discal and preapical crossbands in posterior margin of the wing,

Urophora species usually recognizable with study of female genitalia but this is male.

Thanks Saeed.
Do you know any key or publication that can help me with the species of the Iberian Peninsula?

Sure!
Korneyev and White (1992-1999) specialy Korneyev and White 1999 included the key to the species of Urophora in the Palaearctic region that still is up to date for your region.
