Without any doubt: Oscinella maura (Fallén, 1820) [junior synonym Chlorops albiseta Meigen, 1830), Chloropidae. Larval substrate are the shoots of Dactylis glomerata (Poaceae). The larvae destroy the vegetation point. White aristae occur in many genera of Chloropidae, either in only some few species of a genus or in all species of a genus.
