It has the same large clear spots near the top of the wing like Tephritis conura, but that's about all I find in common... Where's John taking so long??  |

Looks more like matricariae than divisa; for certain identification, dissection of aculeus is needed. Both species occur in France. See also Merz (1994) Insecta Helvetica. At least it is not something else but these two and certainly not conura - the posterior notopleural seta is well-visible, and it is white. Edited by Nosferatumyia on 15-02-2008 07:02 Val |

Hi all, It's Tephritis matricariae. As Valery points out, the posterior notopleural bristle is clearly white. The argument against T. divisa is that the wingpattern is extended on to the Anal lobe and therefore more extensive than in T. divisa. John |
