Hi A fly caught 2 days ago in a forest close to Paris. I thought at first sight that it could belongs to genus Tephritis but I was not able to find a similar species. It ressembles Tephritis recurrens (and turkish species not found from France) a little but I think it is another one. I also looked at close genera (Actinoptera, Capitites, Goniurellia, Trupanea) but without any result. Any idea ? Found in Forêt de Fausses Reposes, Ville-d'Avray, Hauts-de-Seine, Île-de-France, France Body length : around 4 mm Axel D attached the following image:  [111.87Kb] Edited by Axel D on 14-11-2025 17:22 |

The ovipositor has white hairs as in T. nessii whose I found some specimens yesterday in an other place. So I wondered if it could be a specimen with very unsual wing markings but I'm not convinced at all.
